At a crossroads in human civilisation, Survival Now: The Human Transformation presents a compelling and urgent argument for a fundamental reimagining of the way human beings organise their lives, societies, and relationships with one another and the planet. Written by one of Australia's most prominent political figures, the work moves beyond conventional political discourse to argue that systemic economic and social structures are leading humanity toward inevitable collapse — and that only a profound inner and collective transformation can alter that course. Jim Cairns, formerly Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and a lifelong champion of social justice, peace, and alternative economic thought, brings the weight of his political experience and philosophical conviction to bear in this passionately argued treatise. Drawing on traditions of humanist thought and his own disillusionment with mainstream politics, Cairns illustrates why institutional reform alone is insufficient, insisting instead on a revolution in human consciousness and values. A provocative and deeply personal work, Survival Now leaves the reader with an unsettling question: if transformation is both necessary and possible, what is stopping us?
