• Peter Joseph's work is the most honest, inspirational, liberating, and compassionate media I have come across. I consider myself a business professional, one-time theist, and a veteran of corporate politics. His work not only identifies the problems of these modern systems that leave so many of us behind, but it also instills a sense of urgency while also instilling a sense of peace, inspiring oneself to serve a much grander purpose than just self placation. His work transcends ruling political and economic ideologies while providing realistic and inspirational solutions for everyone. I don't say this lightly as I am skeptical of anything and everything, but Peter's work holds ground under the scrutiny of social science and methodology. He has become a hero of mine in many many ways. Nice work and thank you, Peter.

• This is perhaps the most important book of our times. It is said that you cannot learn truth through the lens of a lie, this book provides the lens necessary to understand every major global issue we face as human beings and as a society. At a time when false symbolism is all and we are witnessing the implosion of truth, this book scientifically and methodologically cuts through the formaldehyde of identity politics, capitalism-spawned abominations, concealed class warfare, structural violence, systematic poverty, ceaseless misinformation, and droves of opinion-pissing human clickbaiters by giving the reader a deep understanding of causality and backing those conclusions with empirical evidence.
  
  It is both a treasure-trove of information and more importantly, an action plan to end the deathscape of endemic poverty, unsustainable wealth inequality, and environmental destruction. Not only should the public be aware of the information provided in this book, but it should be required reading and placed on the desks of every major global institution, governing bodies, educational institutions, think thanks, and so on. It is our only chance at moving towards a survivable future.
  
  Eternally thankful for this book and your relentless dedication to human progress, Peter Joseph.
• Peter Joseph is able to articulate the issues that society faces today in a way that few others are able to. He brings to light many humans rights abuses that we face and often unwittingly support on an ongoing global scale, but beyond bringing them to light, he sheds some glimmer of hope how they can be ameliorated by a paradigm shift in our values and old ways of thinking. With the inclusion of rigorous research and detail, Peter has put into words what many activists, idealists, and even ordinary citizens have been thinking for a long time, and that's how to truly address the most fundamental problems that the world faces today, not just on the superficial level that usual politics tosses about, but really getting at the root in order to make a significant constructive change for all humans.
• Peter Joseph's new book, "The New Human Rights Movement", is a thoroughly researched and deeply troubling analysis of the systemic roots of the socioeconomic crisis now facing humanity. It is deeply troubling because the implications and the clarity of the insights he offers lead to an understanding of the magnitude of the problems that humanity must face if we are ever to arrive at a sustainable, peaceful future. His analysis will challenge the deeply held and often unconscious, cultural beliefs of many, requiring critical self examination. Using our best scientific understandings and systems thinking, Peter Joseph leads us inexorably to an awareness of the systemic roots of structural violence that threaten to end a nascent humanity before we realize the promise of our first truly global civilization. The visions offered of a global economy of abundance based on a clear scientific train of thought and an efficient application of technical solutions may never be realized because of the inherent conflicts with behaviors driven by a culture of maximizing self interest based around money, profit, competition and privatization. How humanity will escape this deadly trap of materialism and commercialization remains to be discovered, though Peter Joseph offers many insights into the general directions we must look to discover those solutions. One man can only do so much. The rest is up to us. This book is a state of the planet address to humanity. It should be required reading for every human. Someday, your children and grandchildren will thank you for reading this book, pondering and embracing the understandings it offers. Our collaborative efforts have carried us this far. Only redoubling those efforts will make it possible for us to realize our true potential both as individuals and as a unified human family.
• For a little now, I've been interested in physiology and how it relates to human behavior and society as a whole. While reading through Raymond Peat's work on biology and following up on his references for Bucky Fuller, I became obsessed with Bucky's character and writing. Something that didn't immediately click with me, however, was Bucky's view on the insanity of having to 'earn a living.' At the time, I was semi-engrossed in anarcho-capitalism and couldn't understand what Bucky was getting at. While searching for Bucky's lectures on YouTube, I stumbled upon one of Peter's talks. Something that immediately shook me out of my anarcho-capitalist mindset was how Peter connected the dots between violence, poverty, and physiological stress. Being aware of Hans Selye's work on the devastating effects of stress (i.e., long-term exposure to cortisol), it inherently made sense that you can't have a healthy society when people ("the market") are pitted against each other. This book is a culmination of everything that is fantastic about Peter's online lectures, and I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon his work furthering my understanding of these issues. Thanks, Peter.
