An inspiring vision of a transformative educational approach and the tools to make it real

Focusing on ethical decision-making, this book provides practical guidance for individuals seeking to maximize positive impact for themselves, others, and the environment. It emphasizes a holistic approach to living that considers the well-being of all species, encouraging readers to adopt practices that promote the greatest good while minimizing harm. Through actionable insights, it empowers readers to make informed choices that contribute to a better world.

How can we create a just, healthy, and humane world? What is the path to developing sustainable energy, food, transportation, production, construction, and other systems? What's the best strategy to end poverty and ensure that everyone has equal rights? How can we slow the rate of extinction and restore ecosystems? How can we learn to resolve conflicts without violence and treat other people and nonhuman animals with respect and compassion? The answer to all these questions lies with one underlying system--schooling. To create a more sustainable, equitable, and peaceful world, we must reimagine education and prepare a generation to be solutionaries--young people with the knowledge, tools, and motivation to create a better future. This book describes how we can (and must) transform education and teaching; create such a generation; and build such a future.

Deep polarization in our society prevents us from working collaboratively to solve the problems we face. The Solutionary Way offers a practical approach, providing clear and achievable methods to bridge divides, understand and address seemingly intractable challenges, and create positive change.
