Finding Purpose: Environmental Stewardship as a Personal Calling
Author: Andrew Hoffman, University of Michigan
Greenleaf Publishing is pleased to announce this latest release, which will no doubt be of interest to members of this listserv. Distilling a lifetime's work, Finding Purpose challenges our thinking on how humanity interacts with planet Earth. Hoffman considers this relationship through different lenses – business, academia, faith-based and cultural – to provide a holistic understanding. From student to CEO, readers are offered valuable guidance on considering their place in the world.
The book features a Foreword by J. B. MacKinnon, and according to Neil C. Hawkins, Chief Sustainability Officer, The Dow Chemical Company, Finding Purpose encourages readers to: "not simply accept the status quo but rather to challenge their own assumptions and biases in order to achieve the collective changes we need to thrive. This book is not just food for thought - it could be a roadmap for action".
Andrew J. Hoffman is the Holcim Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan. He has previously worked for the US Environmental Protection Agency, and in the construction industry.
