Overview

Discover a practical path to participate consciously in shaping an authentically sustainable life, business and world. Why do so many of our efforts to fix the world seem to make it more fragile? Why do organisations burn out their people, societies divide over ideology and families fracture despite our best intentions? We work harder, invest more, yet the systems we depend on, economic, social, even personal, still spiral into dysfunction. This book invites you to look beneath these recurring dysfunctions to the hidden architecture shaping them. In this groundbreaking work, philosopher, parallel entrepreneur, philanthropist and best selling author Ashkan Tashvir exposes the illusion of doctrine based sustainability and presents a rigorous alternative, the Authentic Sustainability Framework. At its core lies the Unified Ontology of Systemic Integrity, a map of interrelated qualities that reveal why systems at every scale, individual, organisational and societal, either sustain themselves or fracture. You will explore practical models such as the Systemic Subversion Cycle, the Reconstructive Ontology of Sustainability and the Sustainability Profile, which turn analysis into diagnosis and diagnosis into regeneration. You will learn to distinguish authentic sustainability from sustainabilism, the bureaucratic version that mistakes regulation for renewal, and to design conditions where coherence emerges organically rather than being enforced. For anyone seeking to genuinely lead, create, nurture and contribute, executives redesigning culture, policymakers building resilience, educators shaping the next generation, parents raising grounded families and anyone determined to leave the world a better place, this book offers both insight and method. Cultivate the only sustainability that endures, one grounded in authenticity and systemic integrity.

Author Information

Ashkan Tashvir is a multidisciplinary author, philosopher and entrepreneur whose work bridges ontology, organisational design, human development, technology and systems thinking. His intellectual pursuit is not limited to observing the world, but transforming it. Through a rare integration of philosophical inquiry and real-world execution, he has developed frameworks that directly advance human potential, leadership and the sustainability of systems.His body of work includes the Being Framework, an ontological paradigm for leadership, performance and effectiveness, adopted by leaders across more than 50 countries. Supported by applied tools such as the Being Profile, his work enables measurable growth in individuals and organisations by illuminating the human qualities that shape, or compromise, performance, integrity and systemic resilience.In parallel with this book, Ashkan has also led the development of the Sustainability Profile, an ontometric diagnostic and transformation tool designed to elevate how leaders and organisations assess and build sustainability at the human, cultural and structural levels. Mirroring the transformative impact of the Being Profile, it offers a practical pathway for leaders to cultivate authentic sustainability in themselves, their teams and the systems they shape.Sustainabilism is Ashkan's fifth book, following Being, Human Being, Becoming and Metacontent.
