商品簡介
In this sequel to his earlier Insatiable Is Not Sustainable, which set forth an environmental philosophy critical of "the destructive path of the global market and its support system: the evolving and increasingly globalized culture of `have all you can have' and `be all you can be,'" Brown (economics, Northern Arizona U.) turns his focus away from the global environment and towards the individual. His broad message is that rather than elevating the "productivism" of the "be all you can be" attitude to primacy--which brings with it stress, anxiety, social injustice, and a degraded quality of relationships--we should learn to "just be." By rethinking these cultural norms, we can help bring about a sustainable world that is not motored by stress and consumerism. Hamilton Books is an imprint of the University Press of America.
