Comments from reviewers include: Niki blends her scientific understanding with wisdom and a clear set of personal ethics. The book promotes making changes that are life enhancing... I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone engaged in the sustainability movement. Maureen Howard, Organic NZ Magazine; A sensational book by a visionary psychologist and thinker. Pam Corkery, Broadcaster, Former Member of NZ Parliament; It is so wonderful to see members of the psychology community applying their knowledge and insights as you do in order to make a positive difference at this dangerous point human history.John F. Schumaker, Author of In Search of Happiness: Understanding an Endangered State of Mind; Niki persuades us in a personable and convincing way to look more deeply at our motivations and strategies when advocating for improved social and environmental conditions. .. This involves looking at our own motivations very carefully, which can be uncomfortable, but which Niki admirably does herself throughout the book. This book provides an urgently needed example of using sound evidence from the social sciences, particularly psychology, to engage people more positively in environmental sustainability.
