Sustainable Happiness: Live Simply, Live Well, Make a Difference

Book Overview

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.
