Reviews
""" Towards Sustainable Well-Being is an outstanding collection of contributions from leading authorities that provides both depth and breadth on the development and evolution of the beyond-GDP movement. Drawing on foremost international and Canadian examples, each chapter provides an unblinking, critical gaze on the issues, challenges to, and opportunities for a well-being agenda. This is a 'must-have' book for anyone interested in a future society focused on well-being!"" --Bryan Smale, Professor and Director, Canadian Index of Wellbeing, University of Waterloo ""GDP tells us that growth is good and that bigger is better. As long as we use the inadequate and distorted data that GDP measures, our main 'progress' will continue to be towards greater inequity, social malaise, and ecological collapse. Towards Sustainable Well-Being shows us how to move beyond GDP and rescue humanity from a flawed accounting system that is the origin of so many wicked problems."" --Hon. Peter Bevan-Baker, Leader of the Official Opposition, Prince Edward Island"
