Reviews
According to author and committed environmentalist Wann (Simple Prosperity), globalization is spiraling out of control. Unprecedented population growth has forced markets into a state of hyper-production, not only to meet demand, but also to satisfy an alarming state of over-consumption. Wann calls for a "renaissance"; the way of life of the last 50 years was unrealistic, and human beings require "reprogramming," via the step-by-step itinerary of this new effort. Citing personal accounts of both success and devastation, startling statistics, and press cuttings, the author presents a rational and surprisingly optimistic set of solutions to a distressing issue. Applying historical context and sociological frameworks, Wann indicates that radical change is required-now. Alongside well-known concepts of recycling and sustainability, the model agenda goes further in outlining ways for "optimized living" and a "leaner lifestyle" through communal living, "biomimicry," and a less materialistic, wasteful existence. Though it's unlikely that Wann's argument will be universally embraced, his shrewd analysis, passionate, pro-active take on the global change paradigm, and practical guidance will surely inspire.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In "Simple Prosperity", Dave Wann showed readers how to have an abundant, sustainable life. In "The New Normal", he challenges us to do some heavy lifting and transform our non-sustainable culture by transforming ourselves. For Wann, our current "old normal" lifestyle - buying water in disposable bottles, allowing the government to ignore global warming - will not preserve the planet. To nurture our world, he challenges us to rethink our lives, stand up for a healthy planet and move towards a "new normal" lifestyle in an agenda that includes: initiating local business alliances that actively lobby for local buying; creating an investment strategy that values the balance of nature; supporting the design, manufacture, and use of products made with natural chemicals; and, publicly advocating a more efficient use of water by placing a higher cultural value on wetlands, streams, rivers, and lakes. "The New Normal" is Dave Wann's way forward, a blueprint for a better life that preserves our world. Seller Inventory # 00099832100
