About this listen

 A blueprint for a more balanced, sustainable world by King Charles III. This compassionate and insightful book shines a light on our new monarch’s deep interest in the world around us.

Long before the phrase climate change was a universal catchphrase, our new monarch, King Charles III was studying the impact of industrialization on the environment. In this fascinating cross-discipline work, he calls upon his years of research and explores the way in which mankind must work to restore the delicate balance with nature that we've lost in the centuries since the industrial revolution began.

In 'Harmony', His Majesty King Charles III discusses how areas as diverse as architecture, farming and medicine have each abandoned the classical balances with nature that existed in pre-industrial times. More than simply another treatise on global warming, 'Harmony' tells a story that presents a clear, thoughtful look at how our disassociation from nature has helped to in the greatest environmental crisis in the history of mankind.

I have and would recommend this book to everyone. It's a pleasure to listen to and can lead to you wanting to do your own further research on subjects you may be interested in.

Its well laid out and easy to understand as well as not being to technical. It looks at different things and does a good job in bringing subjects together and linking them. I have listened to it twice and enjoyed it both times.

Ideal for anyone including students and people with a interest in the environment, culture, travel, history, art literature amongst other things.

Very enjoyable listen

By the end of the book, I had a far greater knowledge and understanding of the natural systems that underpin the world we live in, and their importance, especially now. I hope as many people as possible will be exposed to the knowledge in this book, as I feel it contains so many hugely important lessons, that if continue to be neglected, will have dire consequences.

A wonderful surprise

This is a wonderful book mainly about the environment, history and the future. It is very clearly and logically laid out (not an easy task with so much information). I consider myself fairly well-informed on the environment etc., but certainly learned a lot. It) is also quite inspirational - I realy think if I had read this while at school I might have taken up science (but only for the right reasons - i.e. to help protect nature..). Of course, the fact it is read by Prince Charles is a great bonus - he has a very pleasant voice and it is a pleasure to hear someone with the perfect pronunciation!!!

A wonderful book!

I highly recommend this prescient, heartfelt and utterly sensible book. I’m convinced it may well hold the secret to the paradigm shift humanity urgently needs in order to save our planet and ourselves. The book, written over 10 years ago, holds wisdom which could not be more relevant today, in 2020 with a global virus as our wake up call. Perhaps now we can see the problems are deeply interconnected and global ....as are the solutions.

Harmony is a truly breathtaking body of work. Through a sustainable revolution, it is clear that His Royal Highness sees restoring the biodiversity of the planet as one of utmost importance. From Universal Wisdom to Social History and green initiatives, the depth of research contained within is staggering and will make even the most sceptic amongst us consider our place in the world and the trajectory we are on.

Deep, Insightful and Reflective

Everyone knows Charles is passionate about the environment but I hadn't realised just how radical he is. Really brilliant book and surprisingly well performed. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about many important themes.

brilliant book

Now Charles is King it's super important that he is in the room at the globalist forums. He understands the dangers presented by blind ideology, and the primacy of consciousness and order in all of nature, including in us. This is a message of unity for all peoples in this time of global conflict and uncertainty. Beautifully spoken, a really important book.

My love and respect for the man sprouted from what was a decades long scepticism and sometimes mockery.

I was wrong. Listening to the voice of King Charles III was a surreal experience. He has a wonderful voice and the commitment and love he has for this subject is never questioned.

Have a listen. Read it. Look up the names and the eras he speaks of and you will no more than most Phd grads. The journey will be long and this is a good thing.

There should be a children’s version of this book written by the King and crucially, with references with which they can relate.

Magnificent erudition and abundant soul

This book came as a pleasant surprise, It is well researched with real life example of how we as individuals, community's and country's can help the planet and all that live upon her. HRH presents fascinating views and historical facts and is well worth reading.

Fascinating

Would you listen to Harmony again? Why?

Yes - so many very interesting points that he raised that I would definitely like to go over again.

Have you listened to any of H.R.H. The Prince of Wales’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is the first book of his I have read/listened to, and I really like the fact that he read it himself. Clear, well read and easy going.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The glimpses of hope he offers if we make a collective effort and stand to adjust our way of thinking and to use technology for the betterment of the planet rather than for humankind only.Highlights the efforts around the world that are already making a difference in big business, Transition towns and Permaculture.

Any additional comments?

I would encourage as many people as possible to read/listen to this book.

Huge topic, very well addressed, succinct
