Summary:
"Our lives are defined by a story of endless growth and consumption. Now a climate crisis demands that
we
change. Can
we
write new stories? In
All
We
Want
, award-winning author Michael Harris dismantles our untenable consumer culture and delivers surprising, heartwarming alternatives. Drawing on the wisdom of philosophers, scientists, and artists, Harris uncovers three realms where humans have always found deeper meaning: the worlds of Craft, the Sublime, and Care. Past attempts to blunt our impact on the environment have simply redirected our consumption --
we
bought fuel-efficient cars and canvas tote bags.
We
cannot
, however,
buy
our way out of this crisis.
We
need, instead, compelling new stories about
life
's purpose. Part meditation and part manifesto,
All
We
Want
is a blazing inquest into the destructive and unfulfilling promise of our consumer society, and a roadmap toward a more humane future."--Publisher.
