Transformational Thought II: More Radical Ideas to Remake the Built Environment by Jason F. McLennan is his second book of dynamic essays critically challenging prevalent contemporary thinking and conventional design modalities related to the built and natural environments. Rather than a diatribe on these problematic approaches, McLennan draws upon his architectural acumen and his eclectic knowledge of sustainability, social justice issues and cultural awareness to provide intelligent, solution based insights for the rethinking of how we live, work, and thrive in a living future. McLennan addresses a wide variety of issues that call for both individual and far reaching systemic change. Each insight points the reader toward sustainable solutions, challenges the status quo, balances practicality with philosophy, and prepares us for a healthy and prosperous future. McLennan advocates for rapid social change while calling for people to engage in productive initiatives beyond current models and to cooperate, take chances, and experiment outside current bureaucratic and corporate imaginations. Transformational Thought II, a follow-up collection of thought-provoking essays to his original and acclaimed Transformational Thought, provides compelling rationales for change and timely insights into the most highly transformative era humanity has yet to encounter.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Jason McLennan sees the world in a boundless yet grounded way. His knowledge as an architect has been expanded to the entire world. It seems he was born seeing the world as being alive, intelligent and connected… and in his craftsman like way, he is reconnecting the rents and tears in our thinking and understanding about how to live on this planet. Every once in a while, someone shows up with a way of seeing and acting in the world that is astonishing. It is not that we do not understand what Jason is up to. What is hard to understand is how one person could know and accomplish so much in such a short time, how one person could dramatically influence the largest industrial sector in the world, the built environment, with such grace, elegance, and clarity. It is no accident that Jason was given the Buckminster Fuller Award. That award is a harbinger and provides the proper measure of Jason. --Paul Hawken, Environmentalist, entrepreneur, author and activist

Inspirational Reading. read it twice!

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2016

Jason's book is inspiring. Jason has lead by example and by inspiration and his book Transformational thought is another example of how he chooses to use grand visions, inspiring messages and beautiful presentation to encourage and plead with us to be leaders and shift the way humans exist with the environment to a mutually positive existence. This book with created with great care and love.
