Applied Spirituality and Sustainable Development Policy
The fundamental cause of many of the global challenges we are currently facing is our disconnection from ourselves, our fellow humans, other beings, and our planet.We have consistently failed to recognize the inner consciousness that dictates our relationships and decisions, an awareness that could be the first step toward humanity’s quest to set civilization on a more sustainable trajectory. Rooted in both secular spirituality and scientific evidence, Applied Spirituality and Sustainable Development Policy articulates a new model of sustainable development that is not just based on narrow definitions of GDP and economic growth, but that includes and even forefronts social and environmental development and inner transformation of human beings.Drawing on fields from physics to public policy, 18 pioneering authors discuss:A distillation of the spiritual gems at the core of the world’s major religions, including Indic and Buddhist philosophyRoot-cause analyses of major sustainable development policy challenges like climate changeConnections between spirituality and law, and how our legal frameworks can reflect these valuesThe need for leaders to understand their spiritual nature in order to be authentic and transformative in their leadership stylesRecognizing a global need for healing, this book rejuvenates how we think about development and nurture our innate spirituality, and challenges us to shift our collective mindset from one of having to one of being.

Rethinking Sustainable Development : Economic Integration and Public Policy
This book demonstrates falsified economic performance of global economies when the environment is not recognised as a capital, and when the ecosystem is overlooked towards sustainable development. Seck begins with an analysis of standard macroeconomic framework and policy practice.He argues, with reference to environmental accounting literature, that environmental capital must form an integral component of economic measurement.This paves the way for an alternative environmental-macroeconomics framework for policy analysis that promotes sustainable development.The book demonstrates how environmental capital can be measured with reference to select OECD countries and provides a methodology for analysing how macroeconomic goals are related to a steady-state economy.Seck then concludes with a summary of the conflict between current economic growth and ecosystem preservation, and outlines possible policy improvements and directions for research. Rethinking Sustainable Development is an invaluable reference for policymakers as well as researchers and students of environmental economics, sustainable development, and macroeconomics.
