商品简介
We’re bombarded by messages telling us that bigger and better things are the keys to happiness—but after we pile up the stuff and pile on the work hours, we end up exhausted and broke on a planet full of trash. Sarah van Gelder and her colleagues at YES! Magazine have been exploring the meaning of real happiness for eighteen years. Here they offer fascinating research, in-depth essays, and compelling personal stories by visionaries such as Annie Leonard, Matthieu Ricard, and Vandana Shiva, showing us that real well-being is found in supportive relationships and thriving communities, opportunities to make a contribution, and the renewal we receive from a thriving natural world. In the pages of this book, you’ll find creative and practical ways to cultivate a happiness that is nurturing, enduring, and life affirming.
我们被各种信息轰炸，告诉我们更大更好的东西是幸福的关键—但是当我们堆积了东西并增加了工作时间后，我们最终会精疲力竭，在一个充满垃圾的星球上崩溃。 Sarah van Gelder 和她在 YES! 的同事们十八年来，杂志一直在探索真正幸福的含义。在这里，他们提供了安妮·伦纳德 (Annie Leonard)、马蒂厄·里卡德 (Matthieu Ricard) 和万达纳·希瓦 (Vandana Shiva) 等远见卓识者的精彩研究、深入文章和引人入胜的个人故事，向我们展示了真正的幸福存在于支持性关系和繁荣的社区以及做出贡献的机会中。 ，以及我们从繁荣的自然世界中获得的更新。在本书中，您将找到创造性且实用的方法来培养一种滋养、持久和肯定生活的幸福。

媒体评论
The staff at Yes! magazine, and its cofounder van Gelder take issue with the belief that more stuff equals greater happiness and here propose a model that nurtures community, a sense of gratitude, and the environment. After making their case, the authors present ways of promoting well-being that include sharing expensive tools, taking a break from technology, and being a good neighbor. They also focus on improving oneself with such behaviors as being mindful of the present, kicking addictions, spending time with loved ones, and simply saying "hello" to people normally taken for granted. VERDICT Akin to Conari Press's Random Acts of Kindness, this work offers more depth as to why the gentler, simple way is better for everyone.

“I love this beautiful compilation of voices reminding us that happiness isn’t something we ‘find.’ It’s what we become as we align our lives with a thriving community and life-giving earth.”
—Frances Moore Lappé, cofounder of the Small Planet Institute and author of eighteen books
“What makes Sustainable Happiness such an important collection is the book’s practicality. It helps readers understand ways they can make things better for themselves and their communities starting this very minute.”
—David Brancaccio, Host, American Public Media’s Marketplace Morning Report, and Co–Executive Producer, Fixing the Future

—Bill McKibben, cofounder of 350.org and author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet
“I read this book with both sadness and gladness. Sadness to realize how far astray global culture has led us from the true sources of happiness, and gladness that there are so many wise and practical voices gathered in one book to guide us back to lives of real fulfillment.”
—Margaret J. Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science
“A thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking collection of ideas. The vital ingredients have been captured and articulated soulfully—beginning from the ‘ground’ (the right view to find happiness) to the ‘path’ (the right actions to find happiness) so that you may get the ‘fruit’ (the result: happiness). Recommended reading for everyone.”
—Karma Tshiteem, Secretary, Gross National Happiness Commission of Bhutan
“These stories of enjoyable forms of supportive local cooperation stimulated by wider individual frames of reference make concrete what ‘sustainable happiness’ means. Try it. It’s easier than you may think.”

—Parker J. Palmer, educator and author of Let Your Life Speak and A Hidden Wholeness
“Finally, a book on ‘the pursuit of happiness’ that is not self-referential and small minded! Instead, it is honest, challenging, and invitational to a larger world beyond the small self. What a magnificent collection of writers and ideas!”
—Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation
“What the happiness movement needs now is actionable examples pointing the way for our future that are rooted in the ‘us,’ not just the ‘me.’ Sustainable Happiness is the first book to answer that call.”

—Lama Tsomo, author of the forthcoming book Why Is the Dalai Lama Always Smiling?
“The wealth of Sustainable Happiness grows out of the wisdom that has guided the beautiful growth of YES! initiatives—invariably, a celebration of ordinary people setting daily examples of courageous commoning, step-by-step, with infinite patience yet a necessary sense of urgency.”
—Madhu Suri Prakash, writer and educator
