NAVIGATING THE POLYCRISIS OF OUR TIME
In a world on the edge of social, ecological, and economic upheaval, Collapse reveals the forces that are unraveling modern civilization. This sharp exploration dives into the heart of the polycrisis—why systems are faltering, how they are interconnected, and what comes next.

With diverse insights, it gives a bird’s-eye view of civilization’s tipping points. The author offers an accessible understanding of modernity’s decline while bridging ancestral perspectives, spirituality, systems thinking, science, and deep ecology.
Amid the sometimes shocking doses of reality, this book offers personal and collective pointers to navigate the storms, tapping into heart-based resilience and wise responses. For those who suspect humanity is moving in the wrong direction—with enormous inertia—Collapse is a wake-up call to embody who we are and why we’re here.

Review of advance copy
Collapse: Navigating Civilization’s Predicaments With Wisdom and Courage is a lucid, systems-level examination of the converging crises shaping the twenty-first century. Juan Pablo Quiñonez does not treat ecological, social, and economic breakdowns as isolated failures, but as interdependent symptoms of a deeper civilizational imbalance. The book excels in making the concept of the “polycrisis” both intellectually rigorous and emotionally intelligible, grounding abstract systemic failures in lived human consequences.
What distinguishes Collapse is its rare synthesis of disciplines. Drawing from systems thinking, deep ecology, ancestral wisdom, and contemporary science, Quiñonez challenges the dominant myth of human separation from nature while avoiding fatalism. Rather than offering simplistic solutions, the book equips readers with cognitive and ethical frameworks for navigating uncertainty, emphasizing resilience, responsibility, and conscious participation in shaping what comes next. It is a sobering yet constructive contribution to the growing body of work confronting modernity’s limits.
