A different kind of hope for living in these turbulent times
Climate disruption. Growing social inequality. Pollution. We are
living in an era of unprecedented crises, resulting in widespread
feelings of fear, despair, and grief. Now, more than ever,
maintaining hope for the future is a monumental task. Intrinsic
Hope offers a powerful antidote to these feelings. It shows how
conventional ideas of hope are rooted in the belief that life will
conform to our wishes and how this leads to disappointment,
despair, and a dismal view of the future. As an alternative, it
offers "intrinsic hope," a powerful, liberating, and positive
approach to life based on having a deep trust in whatever happens.
The author, a hopeful survivor, shows how to cultivate intrinsic
hope through practical tips and six mindful habits for living a
positive, courageous life in these troubled times. Whether working
directly on ecological or social issues or worried about children
and grandchildren, this book is for everyone concerned about the
future and looking for a deeper source of hope for a better world.

An exploration of our relationship with food and eating
locally--from the bestselling author of "Your Money or Your Life"
Taking the local food movement to heart, Vicki Robin pledged for
one month to eat only food sourced within a ten-mile radius of her
home on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, Washington. Like Barbara
Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle "and the bestselling books
of Michael Pollan, "Blessing the Hands That Feed Us" is part
personal narrative and part global manifesto. Robin's challenge for
a sustainable diet not only brings to light society's unhealthy
dependence on mass-produced, prepackaged foods but also helps her
reconnect with her body, her community, and her environment.
Featuring recipes throughout, along with practical tips on adopting
your own locally-sourced diet, this is a candid, humorous, and
inspirational guide to the locavore movement and a healthy food
future.
When Duane Elgin's classic bestseller, Voluntary Simplicity, was published in 1981, it transformed the lives of thousands and was hailed as the "bible" of the simplicity movement by the Wall Street Journal. Now, for anyone seeking to navigate today's profoundly changing world, Promise Ahead is the powerful sequel to a road map for securing a promising future.
