This book presents a new perspective on the challenges currently facing the world. Dr Laitman shows the reader that the problems of the world are the consequence of humanity's growing egotism. In that spirit, the book suggests ways to use our egos for society's benefit, rather than merely for our own self-interest. The earlier chapters offer a unique understanding of humanity's existence on this planet and how our collective egoism has influenced the development of our society. By understanding the ego and its origins the reader discovers a new understanding of the global integral existence as the remedy for society's ills. The final chapters address our current social and political challenges, and explain how we can use our egos to resolve them, rather than continuing the downward cycle that humanity finds itself in.
Michael Laitman is a global thinker, a Professor of Ontology, a PhD in Philosophy and Kabbalah, and an MS in Medical Bio-Cybernetics. Completing the Circle is based on Laitman's ongoing interchange with hundreds of students and practitioners of the circles method worldwide. Dr. Laitman is featured in Huffington Post US, Germany, Italy, France and Spain. He blogs in BlogActiv, United with Israel, Jewish Journal, Times of Israel, Jerusalem Post and Jewish Business News. Laitman's vision for solving the global crisis at all levels, including education, climate change, hunger, and all social and economic problems, involves implementing a new method of connection designed to establish unity above differences.

Stating that society's future relies on cooperation of people to work together for society, stating that much of society's degradation in recent decades has been the result of narcissism and greed. "Self-Interest vs. Altruism" is a curious and recommended read for those who believe that optimism in human nature is not entirely lost." - Midwest Book Review January 2012
