With strong echoes of Fritz Schumacher and Manfred Max-Neef, wrapped in her decades of experience communicating the message that we need for our happiness is to embrace the local on a global scale, Helena Norberg-Hodge "hit the ball out of the park" with this new book. She successfully explains the problems that destroy our happiness and well-being and offers real solutions, calling for both grassroots action and top-to-bottom economic and political transformation. The chapter "The Economics of Happiness" alone is worth the price of the book. While there are real challenges ahead of us as we implement her vision, the good news is that the young people of this generation have more than likely had enough of the status quo, and our collective efforts may finally yield a world full of "joy, peace, and sustainability."
