James Wanless infuses this book with a lifetime of wisdom and experience as a counselor on both sides of the physical reality-spiritual reality divide. His exploration of sustainability touches every aspect of living, from creating a home to nurturing relationships to respecting the planet that provides for us. Success in life is not given on a silver platter; we are responsible for our own happiness and welfare and that of the planet. Skills that James calls "sustain-abilities" need to be learned and practiced, and will be reflected in our daily choices.

This book really holds up a mirror for reflection on how we are crafting our experience of life. It reframes success as a life lived in harmony with our nature and with mother nature. The beautiful cards that James created to illustrate the book are available as a separate deck to facilitate the process. The last part of the book is called the sustain-ability gym, and it has a series of helpful exercises that you can use to guide your personal journey of self-exploration.
