In his new book, Bob Doppelt tackles climate change, sustainability and life success by starting with the individual mind. It provides proven ‘staged-based’ methods for transforming thinking and behaviour, beginning first with the reader’s own cognitive patterns, then moving to how individuals can motivate other people to change, and finally to how teams and organizations can be motivated to change.
‘In this important book, Doppelt brings his in-depth experience as a sustainability practitioner, and his professional background as a counselling psychologist, to bear. He illustrates that major thinking and behavioural changes are necessary to resolve the climate crisis, and that serious behavioural change requires us to consciously reframe our thinking and embrace a new logic of personal, social and environmental costs and benefits.’ Eban Goodstein, professor of economics, Lewis and Clark College, founder and project director, Focus the Nation
