Jerry Yudelson, Aktivist und Ingenieur, zeichnet in seinem Werk eine ungewöhnliche Karriere nach, die spirituelle Suche mit Umweltaktivismus verbindet. Seine tiefgründigen und emotional aufschlussreichen Einblicke beleuchten ein Leben, das dem nachhaltigen Entwicklung und der Klimagerechtigkeit gewidmet ist. Yudelson teilt seine Erfahrungen und bietet drei Schlüsselprinzipien für heutige Umweltaktivisten: Fordern Sie immer mehr als Sie denken, bieten Sie Ihre Arbeit als selbstlosen Dienst aus Liebe an und beziehen Sie alle Bereiche ein, da Sie die Beteiligung von Dichtern, Politikern, Priestern, Wissenschaftlern und Wirtschaftsführern benötigen werden. Sein Ansatz zeigt, wie man durch die Verbindung von spirituellen Praktiken und Umweltschutz innere Stärke und Lebenszweck findet.
