This unusual guidebook offers some blueprints for humans to change Western society into a "selfless economy" and perhaps save the planet by rebuilding its infrastructures. The author’s concepts are revolutionary. For example, Matthew’s idea of a "climate change bridge" outlines an interactive dashboard by which practitioners and specialists from a variety of disciplines would be able to share information and draft legislation. Although some countries in Europe have smaller forms of this model in which specialists in diverse fields work together to address environmental issues, this has yet to be implemented on a larger scale. Another idea is that people who are in legal trouble or disenfranchised in other ways may be sent to "planet infrastructure sites" to address major climate issues. The book ends with previews of situations that the author wants to address. Matthew's ultimate goals are a healthy planet, healthy people, and healthy societies.

The scope of change that Matthew outlines in this work is notable and impressive. For instance, he proposes that the "way to defeat climate change is to put water that came from land back on land." However, the author's vision also extends to a multitude of issues that humans have created. Therefore, with the appropriate attitudes and management, of which The JM Prophecies Corporation and the James Michael Matthew Institute are models, humans can address them and heal the planet. The pieces that need to come together, as some are in Europe. are the recognition by many more people that the planet is in crisis. The author’s book is thought-provoking and inspirational and will likely appeal to those who have the willingness to accept sacrifices and major changes in their lives in order to ensure a better future for the world.
