What We Lost: Natural adults and the world they inhabited. Among the billions of people over the age of 2O, how many can truly be called adults? Not only defined by age, but by words like integrity, empathy or critical thinking? Ten percent? Five percent? And why is this the case?

This book is about loss. The loss of natural adults, and of the ancient coming-of-age ceremonies that helped generate them. It is also about the loss of the balanced reality that required them, the harmonious communities they fostered, and the connection with the natural world that this entailed.

The shift began roughly 12,OOO years ago, with the rise of two forces that reshaped human life: agriculture and civilization. To regain what was lost, one needs to see both the lost elements as well as the covering that has tried to hide it.

“This was quite a difficult book to read from an emotional perspective. I feel sad for myself and for everyone else for these lost opportunities. Powerful book you have here Mr Mickoski.” L.W
