Book Description
Addiction, argues Albert LaChance in this insightful book, affects more than the individual who suffers from it. Greenspirit shows how contemporary lifestyles have become addictive, consuming the planet’s resources — soil, air, water — in a destructive way that comprises earth’s life systems and endangers the survival of both humankind and other species. Greenspirit presents a 12-step program for recovery from these dangerous lifestyles. Identifying such traits as egocentricity, materialism, overeating and drinking, and apathy as products of addiction, the author draws on the world's spiritual traditions — Hinduism, Buddhism, shamanism, Christianity, and others — to show individuals and communities how to work together to overcome these problems. The 12-step Greenspirit program empowers people to change the way they live in their environment. This "cultural therapy" in turn creates a renewed culture dedicated to protecting — and respecting — the planet.
