A monumentally positive shift in our relationship with Earth. Yet it’s invisible. This book will reveal that real and genuine hope.  As animals our brains float above the planet’s surface. We were made to be mobile and carry our intelligence with us. A huge leap for mankind is happening right now. Contained within our minds and everything around us is the solution to our anxiety. Ecologist and naturalist Simon Mustoe shows us how to consume a more balanced variety of knowledge to become healthier and happier by reconnecting with nature. The key to avoiding disaster is to work within the natural balance of our beautiful world. Cats can make us too conservative (or just enough). Grasshoppers, eels and blue gropers teach us to solve global obesity and food crises. Simply saving wildlife in our own backyards can reduce cost of living by sixty or seventy times. How to Survive the Next 100 Years unlocks the power of our relationship with animals and nature and shows us we are already on our way to rebuilding a healthy, habitable planet.

As a teenager he helped produce BBC nature documentaries and as an adult he has worked with some of the world’s leading conservation, wildlife and ecology organisations. His first book, Wildlife in the Balance, received critical acclaim from the likes of Dame Joanna Lumley and Ian Redmond OBE. He lives in Melbourne, Australia.
