Based on Zoe Weil's decades of work as a humane educator, The Solutionary Way
provides clear, achievable methods to bridge divides, address the
causes of seemingly intractable challenges, and create positive change.
Grounded in evidence-based optimism and illustrated with dozens of
real-world examples, this book provides:
- A guide to the primary components of a solutionary mindset—critical, systems, strategic, and creative thinking
- A comprehensive articulation of the solutionary framework (Identify, Investigate, Innovate, and Implement)
- A compelling argument for the MOGO principle—to do the most good and least harm for people, animals, and the environment
- An overview of emerging solutions to a variety of systemic, rather than solitary, problems
- The
personal benefits associated with becoming a solutionary, from a
greater sense of purpose to deeper compassion and reduced feelings of
apathy and isolation.
This exciting and empowering book will
appeal to a broad audience, including changemakers, activists,
advocates for social justice, environmental sustainability, and animal
protection, business and political leaders, and anyone who yearns to
contribute to a healthy, equitable, and humane world.
Some books give us what we want, and some give us what we need. The Solutionary Way
gives us both: A path toward a more ethical, meaningful life and a
process toward a future where everyone, human and nonhuman, can thrive.
