Description
A truly cross-disciplinary study of psychology, theology, economics, and environmental science, How Should I Live My Life presents an overview of human beliefs and institutions that have led to the emerging global ecological threats. By viewing societal institutions and the psychology that spawns them, George S. Howard gets to the root causes of global ecological crises and provides an effective roadmap for changing the disastrous course that humans face. With detailed descriptions of economic and psycological methods that lead to the choices that society has made, Howard puts forth his vision for society's path in a well-rounded argument for changing the course of economic and environmental policies practiced by the governments of the world today.
