  'Local is Our Future' by Helena Norberg-Hodge connects the dots between our social, economic, ecological and spiritual crises, revealing how a systemic shift from global to local can address these seemingly disparate problems simultaneously. Distilling the wisdom gleaned from four decades of activism and direct experience in both the global North and South, Helena lucidly deconstructs the old narrative of 'progress' through technological advance and corporate growth, while presenting a concise and compelling case for economic localization. Her arguments are supported by real-world examples proving that – beneath the radar of the mainstream media and far from the fetishized techno-utopia of Silicon Valley – healthy and vibrant futures, built upon connection to nature and community, are already in the making.Endorsements:Bill McKibben' - There is no more important task than re-localizing our economies… And this book will tell you how it's done.'Charles Eisenstein - 'A potent conceptual lens… to reverse the ruin of culture, nature, and place.'David Suzuki - 'The argument for economic decentralization, powerfully and passionately presented in this fine book, is one that we can no longer ignore.'Judy Wicks - 'An essential guidebook, lighting the way towards economies of human and ecological wellbeing.'Iain McGilchrist - 'Localization…is the only hope for the future.

  Now more than ever, people fear greatness. Not so much greatness itself, but its requirements: failure, rejection, accountability, criticism, responsibility, and discipline. The temptation to avoid that trade has never been stronger. Perhaps mediocrity is the sensible option. Why be more when there's so much involved? When it's so difficult. 
  But what if I told you it wasn't? That greatness wasn't some magic bean only some people receive, or some unbearably complex sequence only geniuses can follow. What if the equation for greatness was only two steps? As it turns out... it is. 
  This is a book about those two variables. 
  This is not a complex or difficult book. That's because greatness is not complex or difficult. In fact, it's only two simple steps. And luckily, all the tips you need to improve your ability to do both of them, are quite literally at your fingertips.
