Charles HRH The Prince of Wales
About this listen
For the first time, HRH The Prince of Wales shares his views on how our most pressing modern challenges - from climate change to poverty - are rooted in mankind's disharmony with nature, presenting a compelling case that the solution lies in our ability to regain a balance with the world around us.
With its holistic approach, this provocative and well-reasoned book takes the discussion of sustainability and climate change in a new direction. Prince Charles shows how the solutions to problems like climate change lie not only in technology but in our ability to change the way we view the modern world.
For decades, the Prince of Wales has been studying a wide array of disciplines to understand every aspect of man's impact on the natural world, and in that time he has examined everything from architecture to organic farming to sustainable economics. Now, for the first time, he speaks out about his years of research, presenting a fascinating look at how modern industrialization has led us to a state of disharmony with nature, created climate change, and pushed us to the brink of disaster.
From the rice farms of India to the prairies of America's corn belt, from the temples of Ancient Egypt to the laboratories of industrial designers, Harmony spans the globe to identify the different ways that contemporary life has abandoned the hard-earned practices of our history, a shift that has spurred a host of social problems and accelerated climate change.
Drawing on cases from farming, health care, transportation, and design, the Prince of Wales also offers solutions for change, creating a new vision for our world, one that incorporates the traditional wisdom of our past with the modern science of our present to avert catastrophe. In the end, Harmony paints a holistic portrait of what we as a species have lost in the modern age, while outlining the steps we can take to regain the harmony of our ancestors.

Perhaps the most influential book you'll ever hear
This book is an astoundingly comprehensive view of the interconnected life, history and realistic viable future of our world beautifully narrated by HRH Prince Charles himself.
I own a copy of the actual book, but listening to the conviction and passion in Prince Charles' voice adds another layer to this already amazing book.
I knew very little about Prince Charles before, but this book painted him as someone who not only cares for the planet and people in it but also someone who is actively involved in many ventures, charities and start ups to make the world a better place than we have collectively made it.
I'm an avid reader and can't think of a book to which i can so readily relate, truly for me this is the most influential book I have ever read/heard.

Wonderfully written
Wonderfully written book, even though it was published more than ten years ago, it still incredibly current and relevant, and perhaps even timeless. It puts across the beautiful ideas of ways of life in harmony with nature and how important it is to try and save and protect our Earth, and ourselves as integral part ot the whole. How true it is that even if we already share some of these ideas, we need to be reminded and made aware how much work still needs to be done to bring us back closer to nature, not only in our hearts, but in our minds, in our work, in our every day life and lifestyle. His Majesty shows Himself as a great thinker and someone who cares deeply about humanity, nature, the environmental crisis we face, as someone who works restlessly towards finding and supporting solutions. It is an inspirational book, and beautifully written and read, I feel deep admiration to His Majesty for his work and I feel grateful that such a great person is now our King.

The attention to detail
HRH has put this book together with his passion and compassion for the planet, seeing with his own eyes the construction and destruction of a planet in some detail, he has researched this book concisely which makes it inspiring, it makes for fantastic listen and will most certainly give all walks of life insight.
