Response-Able: How to Live Well Over Time on Planet Earth (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798901020012)

For young people and all those who love them, this is an uplifting and practical book of wisdom. Written with a game on mindset, Response-able is a must read for those who want to participate in the grand course correction toward a sustainable future. Jaimie has been educating for sustainability for over thirty years. Her work captures the thinking of a myriad of giants whose shoulders she explicitly stands on, as she weaves a compelling story of hope and regeneration. This is the new paradigm in the making.

She honors her mentors, teachers, and students by drawing from a rich and varied assembly of disciplines. From game theory to allegory, and from the new brain science to the physical laws and principles derived from nature, this book is a delight to read, and one to keep handy on the road ahead. Refreshingly smart and useful, this book is the opposite of the doom and gloom books that admire all the problems.

It begins with the importance of being driven by a vision of the future we want, and then proceeds to help us get from here to there. Jaimie asserts with compelling clarity and logic that the shift towards sustainability and regeneration begins with a change in thinking. It is the counterforce to the maelstrom of old, outdated, mechanistic ways of thinking that are driving unsustainability. If you want to find your compelling purpose, unleash your potential and thrive over time, read this book.
