Sinopsis
What makes us human? And why does it matter? Poetic and practical advice on who we are—and what we need to become—to move forward in togetherness and mutual responsibility in an age of uncertainty and climate chaos
Zen and Indigenous Hawaiian wisdom for navigating the timeplace of collapse—the highly-anticipated follow-up to When No Thing Works
With piercing clarity and poetic force, Zen teacher and Indigenous Hawaiian leader Norma Kaweloku Wong offers a profound call to reckon with what she calls the Human Quotient: 4 essential inner capacities—courage, compassion, aloha, and strategic wisdom—we must cultivate and embody to not just survive, but shepherd ourselves through an age of climate crisis, social fracture, and accelerating collapse.
Part visionary framework, part story-poem-instruction manual, Who We Are Becoming Matters invites readers into a deeper examination of how we grow, relate, and lead in times of uncertainty. Drawing on decades of Zen training, Indigenous Hawaiian knowledge, political strategy, and community practice, Wong explores the internal and collective shifts required to evolve with intention. Her teachings challenge us to release the logic of othering and splintering, to root ourselves in the mutual responsibilities of aloha and kuleana, and to step into the messy work asked of us in a timeplace of collapse.
Like the highly lauded When No Thing Works, Who We Are Becoming Matters is both balm and blueprint: it's a vital disruption of the status quo. It's a generative map for moving forward. And it's a realistic look at what it may take for humanity to evolve and embody the historic role of stewarding this urgent moment: we take the leap together, eyes wide open, and tend to the job placed before us.
