A propos de cet article

Paperback. Why do the most powerful institutions repeatedly make decisions that produceless security, not more? Why do we build systems that cost more and work worsethan alternatives we know about? Why does extraordinary intelligence so oftenserve self-defeating cycles? For forty years, psychiatrist Ravinder Bhalla has watched individuals andinstitutions repeat patterns that harm them despite overwhelming evidence ofbetter alternatives. In ABUNDANCE, he reveals that our major crises-climatechange, mass incarceration, perpetual war, extreme inequality, politicalpolarization-are not separate problems but manifestations of one pattern: scarcity thinking creating self-devouring cycles. The evidence is clear: punishment creates more crime, not less. Extractionaccelerates climate instability. Accumulation compounds inequality. Wallsmanufacture the threats they claim to prevent. Each "solution" perpetuatesthe problem it claims to solve, consuming everyone it touches-including thosewho think they benefit. The abundance alternative exists and works. The Marshall Plan turned enemiesinto partners. Norway's rehabilitation-based justice achieves 20% recidivismversus America's 60%. Portugal's drug decriminalization reduced addiction anddeath. The Montreal Protocol healed the ozone layer. In each case, investingin root causes cost less and produced better outcomes than managing symptomsindefinitely. Yet we rarely choose abundance. Drawing on Nietzsche, clinical observation, and systems analysis, Bhalla shows why: leaders who haven't genuinely facedtheir own mortality cannot think in generations. They optimize for quarterlyreturns, electoral cycles, and personal accumulation-even when those choicesdestroy the foundations they depend on. Written at the exact moment when AI deployment decisions will determine whethertechnology amplifies human capacity or eliminates human agency, ABUNDANCE offersboth rigorous diagnosis and practical framework. The book examines the hardesttest case-Israeli-Palestinian conflict-proving that if abundance thinking canwork there, objections elsewhere are exposed as insufficient. It then addressesAI as the ultimate fork: the same capability that could enable surveillance andmass unemployment could instead strengthen democracy and address the "lowest-hanging fruit"-Haiti, extreme poverty, water scarcity-that we've abandoneddespite having resources to transform conditions for hundreds of millions. The scarcity trajectory is the path of least resistance. The abundancetrajectory requires psychological work most leaders haven't done: facingmortality, examining inherited values, recognizing wholeness, channeling willto power toward creation rather than domination. This is not idealism. It is arithmetic backed by historical precedent. Thequestion is whether enough people with enough power will choose it before thewindow closes. For readers of Yuval Noah Harari, Atul Gawande, and Daniel Kahneman who wantto understand why we're trapped-and what psychological transformation wouldmake different choices possible. ABUNDANCE is an invitation to remember what we've forgotten: that we were borninto abundance, life itself is abundance, and the cycles consuming us are notthe price of being human but the cost of forgetting what we are.
