A WORLDWIDE MOVEMENT is afoot. The search for meaning, embodied by such values as mindfulness, creativity, compassion and empathy, is driving global transformation.

The Heart of Sustainability delves into this burgeoning paradigm shift, framing the conversation about consciousness and sustainability by:

• Explaining how self-development is a key driver for planetary change
• Describing how the confluence of the consciousness and technological revolutions provide unique opportunities for balance and fulfillment
• Exploring how we can move forward individually and collectively to create a thriving, livable future from the inside out.

This landmark work illustrates the integration of the four Es: ecology, economy, equity, and education - the bedrock of the current sustainability framework - with the four Cs: conscious, creative, compassionate and connected.

Focusing on specific examples and concrete initiatives from around the world, it showcases visionaries whose leadership, activism and community engagement are helping to build a world that works for all.

This book is for anyone experiencing the tension that our culture creates between the way we actually treat our natural world and each other, and the way we, deep in our hearts, know we should both inspiring and informative, and beautifully written.
