Sustainable Hedonism: A Thriving Life That Does Not Cost the Earth

by Orsolya Lelkes

Book Overview

How can we create a thriving life for us all that doesn't come at the price of ecological destruction? This book calls to explore our collective and personal convictions about success and good life. It challenges the mainstream worldview, rooted in economics, that equates happiness with pleasure, and encourages greed, materialism, egoism and disconnection. Drawing on modern science and ancient Greek philosophy, the author details how we can cultivate our skills for enjoying life without harming ourselves or others, and can live an autonomous, creative and connected life.
