Ecocivilization book launch events
My new book, Ecocivilization, launches on May 26
After five years of research, writing, and preparation, I’m excited to share that my book, Ecocivilization: Making a World that Works for All, is about to be born into the world.
Many of us know that things are going badly wrong around us, but it’s not easy to visualize what a truly better world might look like—and the pathways to get there.
This is my intention for Ecocivilization: to illustrate an alternative, positive future that’s available for humanity, showing how every aspect of our world system could be redesigned as a coherent whole, setting the conditions for all people to flourish on a regenerated Earth.
The book lays out the potential for a fundamentally different world system—an ecocivilization based on life-affirming principles rather than principles of extraction, exploitation, and wealth accumulation.
I will be holding a number of number of launch events in the SF Bay Area, New York, and the UK. I very much hope you will be able to join me at one of them.
If you live elsewhere—or the timing doesn’t work—please join me online for a launch event hosted by the Deep Transformation Network at 1 pm Pacific on Tuesday, June 2.
