Overview: We-Topia is the true and shocking story of how ego conquered the world. From happier, healthier, and more spiritually evolved nomadic ancestors to a selfish globalized world that exploits, divides, and petrifies today, We-Topia explores how a powerless society has always been part of the plan. And it’s worked.

Verdict: Across the millennia, society gradually devalued human consciousness while social systems such as slavery, money, and religion turned people into resources. Now, like a James Bond villain, this purposeful manipulation mesmerizes us to be consumers and tells us that higher spiritual evolution is a delusion. How did this happen? How do we change? What is life’s purpose and meaning?

We-Topia answers these questions with some good news - there’s a way out of this mess and there always has been. As our ancestors knew, liberty from ego is possible when society values real human needs, and We-Topia provides the concepts for you to begin. It is a spiritual odyssey from me to we - the ultimate inside-out rebellion against 13,000 years of conditioning.

Here in We-Topia, practicing Reiki master, life coach and organizational consultant, Michael Paul Stephens is keen to point out that the purpose of We-Topia is not idealism in any shape or form and that it expects no miracles or epiphanies.

Indeed, We-Topia is a pragmatic investigation into why we live the way we do and what we gave up to live this way. Moreover, it asks you whether you are ready to stop embracing the misconceptions of our past, the lies about our future, and the illusions we have all been taught to believe are real.

So, the introductory challenges are Can the world change? And can we create an inclusive place, where equality reigns and everyone is at liberty to pursue their life goals? For answering these, and other questions, has been a dream of Stephens’ and thus this book is his attempt to realize it.

He has long been interested in how Buddhist philosophy and practice answer those tough questions. I perceive Buddhism, not from a religious viewpoint, but as a profound set of ideas that get great results in the real world.

In fact, at their heart, Buddah’s teachings are what you might call anti-religious because he didn’t ask us to accept on faith a single speck of what he taught. Indeed, Buddah explicitly asked us to challenge his ideas. And that’s about as brave as any teaching can be. It says Try this! And Throw every single question at it that you can!

The madness of this idea, simply put, is that a truthful set of ideas will stand up to scrutiny and work for you There will never be a need for faith if good results are tangible in your life. We-Topia takes this idea and applies it to our modern society. A good, healthy society will withstand scrutiny and criticism. But an insecure, superficial one will balk and shoot the messenger.

Simply put, as the author himself admits, We-Topia is a journey from me to we and you don’t even need to set foot off our sofa.
