Sustainabilism: Exposing the Sustainability Illusion

Discover a practical path to participate consciously in shaping an authentically sustainable life, business and world.

Why do so many of our efforts to fix the world seem to make it more fragile? Why do organisations burn out their people, societies divide over ideology and families fracture despite our best intentions? We work harder, invest more, yet the systems we depend on, economic, social, even personal, still spiral into dysfunction.

This book invites you to look beneath these recurring dysfunctions to the hidden architecture shaping them. In this groundbreaking work, philosopher, parallel entrepreneur, philanthropist and best selling author Ashkan Tashvir exposes the illusion of doctrine based sustainability and presents a rigorous alternative, the Authentic Sustainability Framework.

At its core lies the Unified Ontology of Systemic Integrity, a map of interrelated qualities that reveal why systems at every scale, individual, organisational and societal, either sustain themselves or fracture. You will explore practical models such as the Systemic Subversion Cycle, the Reconstructive Ontology of Sustainability and the Sustainability Profile, which turn analysis into diagnosis and diagnosis into regeneration.

You will learn to distinguish authentic sustainability from sustainabilism, the bureaucratic version that mistakes regulation for renewal, and to design conditions where coherence emerges organically rather than being enforced.

For anyone seeking to genuinely lead, create, nurture and contribute, executives redesigning culture, policymakers building resilience, educators shaping the next generation, parents raising grounded families and anyone determined to leave the world a better place, this book offers both insight and method.

Cultivate the only sustainability that endures, one grounded in authenticity and systemic integrity.
