The Book: Emerging World

Why are we facing so much planetary crisis and cultural breakdown — and what comes next?

In Emerging World, Roger Briggs traces the sweeping arc of human evolution — from our primal origins to the modern global moment — and reveals how our current challenges are not just political, environmental, or economic. They are crises of consciousness.

This groundbreaking book draws from evolutionary theory, psychology, cosmology, and wisdom traditions to illuminate the path humanity has traveled — and where we must go next. Briggs argues that we are on the cusp of an evolutionary leap: a shift from the dominant paradigm of materialism and separation to a new form of planetary consciousness rooted in interconnectedness, truth-seeking, and care for all life.

With clarity and optimism, Emerging World offers a powerful vision of a civilization that works for all — and invites readers to become co-creators of that future.
