From Me to We: The Five Transformational Commitments Required to Rescue the Planet, your Organization, and your Life

Green Team Lunch & Learn (FREE LUNCH & LEARN WEBINAR)

Join Bob Doppelt, on a 1 hour Lunch & Learn for Green Teams

In From Me to We: The Five Transformational Commitments Required to Rescue the Planet, your Organization, and your Life, systems change expert Bob Doppelt reveals that most people today live a dream world, controlled by false perceptions and beliefs. The most deeply held illusion is that all organisms on Earth, including each of us, exist as independent entities. At the most fundamental level, the change needed to overcome our misperceptions is a shift from focusing only on "me" - our personal needs and wants - to also prioritizing the broader "we": the many ecological and social relationships each of us are part of, those that make life possible and worthwhile.

Research shows that by using the techniques described in this book this shift is possible - and not that difficult to achieve.

"The five transformative commitments described by Bob Doppelt in his engaging new book provide a much-needed and compelling set of first-order principles that can guide every organisation toward true sustainability."  Hunter Lovins

From Me to We offers five transformational "commitments" that can help you change your perspective and engage in activities that will help resolve today's environmental and social problems. Not coincidentally, making these commitments can improve the quality of your life as well.

Content 

1. 'Me' to 'We' throughout history

2. The first commitment: See the systems you are part of

3. The second commitment: Be accountable for all the consequences of your actions

4. The third commitment: Abide by society's most deeply held universal principles of morality and justice

5. The fourth commitment: Acknowledge your trustee obligations and take responsibility for the continuation of all life

6. The fifth commitment: Choose your own destiny

Bob Doppelt's latest book is a wake-up call to the creed of individualism. He calls for recognition of the laws of interdependence, cause and effect, moral justice, trusteeship, and free will. The book will be essential to all of those interested in how we can create and stimulate a sea change in how to enable the necessary behavioral change we need to deal with the myriad environmental and social pressures consuming the planet.

Bob has a knack for simplifying complexities. His five commitments reframe prerequisite personal and organisational mind-sets for the journey toward a sustainable environment, society and economy ... They deserve to be on tablets of stone.  Bob Willard, author of The Sustainability Advantage
