Last Post for Now and New Book

Since 2010 I've been sharing my thoughts through this blog. Upon reflecting on my intentions for this blog and moving forward, I've decided to take a sabbatical from posting on this blog. Instead, I'll post my thoughts on LinkedIn.

Last summer I posted a piece, "How Do You Build A Regenerative Enterprise: Start by Going On A Camping Trip." on LinkedIn. Periodically, you can check out articles though my LinkedIn link at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andresedwards

I hope you have a great holiday break and wishing you the very best for 2015!
Be well,
Andres

New Book: The Heart of Sustainability

For this month's post, I'd like to share a new book project I've been working on for the last several years. I have a new book coming out: The Heart of Sustainability. This book completes the set of my two previous books (The Sustainability Revolution and Thriving Beyond Sustainability) by focusing on the human dimension of the sustainability movement. I'm looking at the role of personal development and the importance of human/nature connection in order to successfully deal with the global challenges that we face. As the consciousness and technological revolutions flourish, what is our role? What are the qualities of leadership and activism that we need? And how are individuals and organizations from around the world implementing mindfulness, compassion, empathy and creativity into their organizations. This book bridges the world of personal growth and sustainability and asks us to look within ourselves to see what calls us and inspires us to make change and create a better world.

The Heart of Sustainability will be published by New Society Publishers in the Fall of 2015, and I'm looking forward to sharing more about it as the time nears.
