Being Is Enough: Collective Self-Help for a Sustainable World

by Doug Brown

Being Is Enough emphasizes that America's "have all you can have" economy, which many now regard as unsustainable, is the result of our "be all you can be" culture. And our cultural imperative suggesting that humans must always be more is not only the social root of humanity's environmental crisis, but also the cause of personal stress.

About the author

Doug Brown was raised in dramatic arts and theater, which led to a music career and eventually shot him into the spotlight as a professional skateboarder. Doug's love for the world of skateboarding began at age twelve, after seeing Back to the Future for the first time. While the skateboarding trend has waxed and waned in popularity, Doug's commitment to the sport remained constant. His skate life began by chance in 2002 at the Gravity Games and caught the eye of his first sponsors. After that, it’s been a whirlwind of personal appearances, demos, and notably performing his Skate Straight program across the nation at libraries and schools.
