Subject: The Power of Sustainable Thinking
Date: August 7, 2008

Systems expert, counselling psychologist and Earthscan author Bob Doppelt is at the forefront of attempts to tackle climate change by transforming thinking and behaviour.

Using proven ‘staged-based’ methods for altering cognitive patterns, his forthcoming book The Power of Sustainable Thinking is a manual for changing the mindset of individuals and organizations.

‘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
