Wake-Up Call for This Century
What is wrong with the world? We live on a planet where humanity has entered the first quarter of the twenty-first century, and we are still struggling to rebalance our social, economic, and environmental aspects. In Wake-Up Call for Humanity, author Saji Baby discusses taking advantage of opportunities.
This book is an outcome of all the bottled-up voices that touched his heart. He shares his thoughts on declining moral values, the downside of the technology, the humanitarian crisis, the struggle for decent existence, retracting from nature, and more. He’s concerned about the direction our world is heading. He insists we need a better world where basic freedom, sovereignty, rights, and aspirations are not being trampled upon.
Wake-Up Call for Humanity shares how life is not just about the good things or the bad. It projects some sense of reality of the ills of present century, and it acts as a signboard that highlights ways to preserve and implement the values of wisdom, true knowledge, and humanity.
