Book excerpt: If you are looking for a book that prescribes tools and techniques centered on the three pillars of sustainability aiming "to meet our current needs while allowing the next generation to meet theirs", e.g. how to reduce our carbon footprint, how to get your home off the grid, how to tackle global warming, how to stay safe in the midst of flash floods, how to freeze the rising sea level to prevent disappearance of lowlands or even how to choose your next energy-rated refrigerator so that the extra cost incurred is paid back within 2 years, and similar 'sustainability' decision making we have been contemplating as planet earth's population in the aftermath of the industrial revolution, then this book is not for you. But if you find yourself questioning the very precepts, the very foundation of the "Sustainability" we are pursuing with its three pillars in environment, economics and social, and if you find no ray of hope in achieving the equitable, sound and healthy lifestyle we all aspire for, then this book will provide a new perspective on what we are missing in our sustainability agenda, that will allow us to achieve genuine, unadulterated sustainability, what I refer to as Sustainability As It Ought To Be.As we reach out to create a modern society with better living conditions, we find ourselves making progress in various spheres but we usually find that such advancement has deficiencies, and becomes the very source of problems down the line. As a result of the harm perpetrated during and after the industrial revolution, we have seen the term sustainability becoming more and more prominent, and becoming an important criterion for acceptance of an idea, product or process.But how good is the sustainability framework we are using? Will it really usher us into a sustainable world, where every element of our eco-system is seamlessly harmonized, including human beings? Does it encompass everything that needs to be considered, because a fundamental principle of life is that if we miss anything now, surely it will hit back at us sooner or later, and that's exactly the root cause of the tribulations we are already facing at the moment as we seek to make further progress.The intricate relationship between truth and sustainability is used in this book for developing a framework for sustainability, and real-life dimensions of our life such as health, career, economic growth, love, sex, family, woman empowerment as well as social crises such as drugs, alcoholism, prostitution, crime, terrorism among others are used to illustrate how the framework can be applied to ascertain the sustainability of our action.The essence of this book is to empower each one to his or her true best, and pave the way to unleashing dormant pathways to core, sustainable inner personal traits. If we get this right, we can truly live and create the harmonious, peaceful, blissful and exciting lifestyle we yearn and earnestly trying for, but which seems to be evading us. If we get this right, all our secondary concerns about sustainable development related to energy, environment, society and economics will be sorted out de-facto!As we continue to engineer our modern world, the divide between the new and old generations seems to be ever-widening; it is becoming increasingly difficult to harmonize the traditions of the latter with the rational demands of the younger generation. This book will come as a useful guide for giving purpose and hope to all layers of our society, unifying them so that everyone fits sustainably together.
