FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The inundation of terrifying environmental news in recent years has left many people exhausted and in despair about our planets future.

Drawing on specific teachings, stories, and explorations of consciousness and reality from Buddhist, Christian, Daoist, Hindu, Indigenous, Islamic, and Jewish traditions, Jaoudi demonstrates that mindfulness is sustainability, and that mindfulness practice, applied both personally and politically, can help mitigate global climate change and rectify environmental injustice.
