George Ripley presents us with a timely and urgent message for this new year with his book,\u00a0Tao of Sustainability<\/em>. \u00a0Perhaps no more salient than now, this book will\u00a0propose the Daoist way of being one with nature as a substitute to the nature-separation story, and its\u00a0maladaptive effects, to which we have subscribed.<\/p>\n Published\u00a0by Three\u00a0Pines Press, a leading publisher of Taoist works.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Description<\/strong><\/p>\n “At the crux of our current environmental crisis lies humanity\u2019s perceived separation from nature. We simply will not take care of the natural world if we do not believe we are an integral part of it. In Tao of Sustainability <\/em>the author presents the traditional Daoist path of self-cultivation as a framework for bringing humans back into a sustainable relationship with the Earth. Tao of Sustainability<\/em> also explores how our health, both mental and physical, is impacted by nature, drawing on research in the fields of Green Exercise, Nature and Forest Medicine, and Ecopsycology.\u00a0Part philosophy, part meditation manual, part nature awareness guide, Tao of Sustainability <\/em>offers numerous pathways towards reconnecting with nature and the Dao through mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from a variety of disciplines and traditions, from Daoism to Stoicism, Ecopsychology to Buddhist mind training, the visual arts to movement (tai chi, qigong)\u2014this book provides numerous ways to reconnect with the natural world.<\/p>\n Gregory Ripley holds a B.A. in Asian Studies from the University of Tennessee and an M.A. from Northwestern Health Sciences University. He lives in Minnesota, where he practices acupuncture.”<\/p>\n For complete details and reviews: \u00a0http:\/\/threepinespress.com\/p\/tao-sustain<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
