Happiness beyond accumulation

Sustainable Happiness examines the link between personal well-being and the wider conditions in which people live. Drawing on research, essays, and personal stories, Sarah van Gelder and her YES! Magazine colleagues challenge the idea that accumulating more possessions and working longer hours lead to a satisfying life. The book presents relationships, community, meaningful work, and connection with the natural world as foundations for happiness, then offers ways to cultivate them. Its approach treats individual choices and social and environmental well-being as connected questions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in living more simply
  • Readers exploring the links between well-being, community, and the environment
  • Shoppers who prefer a large-print edition

Book overview

We're bombarded by messages telling us that more, bigger, and better things are the keys to happiness - but after we pile up the stuff and pile on the 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. In this much - needed volume, they marshal fascinating research, in - depth essays, and compelling personal stories that lead to a life - altering conclusion: what makes us truly happy are the depth of our relationships, the quality of our communities, the contribution we make through the work we do, and the renewal we receive from a thriving natural world. The authors offer creative ways to cultivate a happiness that is sustainable in every sense: one that is nurturing, enduring, just, and life affirming for individuals, society, and the earth.
