Critics Review
“Satish Kumar’s book is a distillation of connected insights that he has gained from the teachings of enlightened being Buddha, peace activist Gandhi, poet and playwright with a penchant for nature - Rabindranath Tagore, and contrarian economist Shumacher. In eloquent and simple terms, he summarises the wisdom of each and underlines how they culminate in his ecophilosophy and the trinity of words he puts forth: Soil, Soul and Society.”
—Tamanna Patel, Cultivate Central
“This book is an excellent introduction to the gentle teachings and philosophy of this great being and it provides practical ideas on how we can actively move into this new paradigm, one which encapsulates ecological, spiritual and social dimensions.”

Peace and environment activist and former Jain monk Satish Kumar has been quietly setting the global agenda of change for more than 50 years. He settled in the United Kingdom after an 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage. He was editor of Resurgence magazine from 1973 until 2016. Over the decades, he has been the guiding spirit behind internationally respected ecological and educational ventures including Devon’s Schumacher College; authoring several books, including Elegant Simplicity; and presenting the BBC documentary Earth Pilgrim. In 2022 Satish Kumar was honored with the Goi Peace Award in recognition of his lifelong dedication to campaigning for ecological regeneration, social justice, and spiritual fulfillment. Through his teaching, and as an embodiment of ecological and spiritual principles of living simply, he has inspired many people to transform themselves in order to transform the world. He continues to teach, appears regularly in the media, and is a sought-after international speaker.
