Mindfulness as Sustainability | Free Book
Lessons from the World's Religions
The inundation of terrifying environmental news in recent years has
left many people exhausted and in despair about our planet's future.
In Mindfulness as Sustainability, Maria Jaoudi addresses the
need to take care of ourselves intellectually, spiritually, and
emotionally during the current global climate crisis. Drawing on
specific teachings, stories, and explorations of consciousness and
reality from Buddhist, Christian, Daoist, Hindu, Indigenous, Islamic,
and Jewish traditions, Jaoudi demonstrates that mindfulness is
sustainability, and that mindfulness practice, applied both personally
and politically, can help mitigate global climate change and rectify
environmental injustice. Through illuminating discussions of primary
scriptures, key spiritual figures, discoveries of modern science, and
moments of social transformation, she offers practical ways to live
our lives mindfully, ethically, and sustainably. Written for students
and lay readers, the book makes the case that we can sustain our
planet if we maintain our strength, increase our knowledge, and remain
sensitive to the beauty and the sentience that is both within us and
around us.
