Book Description | We're bombarded by messages telling us that bigger and better things are the keys to happiness--but after we pile up the stuff and pile on the work hours, we end up exhausted and broke on a planet full of trash. Sarah van Gelder and her colleagues at YES! Magazine have been exploring the meaning of real happiness for eighteen years. Here they offer fascinating research, in-depth essays, and compelling personal stories by visionaries such as Annie Leonard, Matthieu Ricard, and Vandana Shiva, showing us that real well-being is found in supportive relationships and thriving communities, opportunities to make a contribution, and the renewal we receive from a thriving natural world. In the pages of this book, you'll find creative and practical ways to cultivate a happiness that is nurturing, enduring, and life affirming. |
Editorial Review | What makes Sustainable Happiness such an important collection is the book's practicality. It helps readers understand ways they can make things better for themselves and their communities starting this very minute.-David Brancaccio, Host, American Public Media's Marketplace Morning Report, and Co-Executive Producer, Fixing the Future |
