We only get one life…

and one planet, yet we treat them both like we have backups. They are our true wealth. It’s a waste to spend them on things that aren’t vital.

The demands that our socio-economic system puts on us rob us of our very life. We are driven to over-consume, which not only costs us our precious time, it also costs us nature.

Or we can choose to cherish and sustain our one life and planet by living essential lives. Essential living is when we use our time only doing things that genuinely provide well-being – like relationships, personal development, healthy habits, good works, meaningful pursuits, quality rest and recreation, and fulfilling experiences – which are all to do with thriving at least cost, or sustainabilism.

Sustainabilism is the approach to life where the goals of human well-being and environmental sustainability are in perfect harmony. With sustainabilism there is an optimal balance where we don’t consume too much, or too little, but just the right amount – so that we can thrive more.

Sustainabilism is the art of living only life; ONE LIFE explores what this means. This book is for solution seekers – those of you who are troubled by living in a culture that pressures us to be who we are not. 

Is that you?
