Sunday Open Thread - August 12, 2007 What I'm thinking about, and planning on writing (and podcasting) about soon: Radical Simplicity: Much of what we need to do to create sustainable models of better ways of living and making a living requires us to simplify how we live: traveling less, buying less, owning less, owing less, supporting self-sustaining local community. How can we learn to appreciate radical simplicity, so we can become better at this? Personal Resilience and Collective Emergence: I'm learning how not to take the bad things that happen hard, angrily, or personally, and how to let things emerge, in their own time, collaboratively. Why are we never taught these important lessons before the accumulated stress does so much damage to us? Vignettes: Coming up soon, vignette #5. Blog-Hosted Conversations: Starting the last week of August, once a week, this blog will feature 30-minute conversations, initially on the subject of "What is your model of a better way to live, and what capacities do we need to develop or re-learn to live that way?" Open Thread Question: How much progress have you made in the last five years towards reducing your footprint on the planet?  5:17:49 PM  trackback []  comment []
