An Optimist Looks at a Pessimist's World

by Alan AtKisson

Praise

"Believing Cassandra is really interesting, clarifying and inspiring. Read it and you'll not only know how to think sustainability and do sustainabilityyou'll know how to dance, sing and laugh it as well. At the same time, the ideas are dead seriousand I mean dead. If we don't get it right, this sustainability thing, much will die in our clumsy human hands. Alan AtKisson gives us tools to understand where we are, where we're headed and how to change. What could be betteran important book that's a great read."

—Vicki Robin, co-author of Your Money or Your Life

"Alan AtKisson is the freshest and wisest voice to emerge from the sustainability movement in many years. Believing Cassandra manages to be incisive, humorous, and hopeful while examining unblinkingly the environmental holocaust enveloping the earth. Cassandra's dilemma was to know the future and not to be believed. Not so here. The gift of Alan's writing is that it is original, credible and welcoming. It renews our sense of the possible and expands the dimensions of our collective intelligence, transforming our sense of the future from a curse to a blessing. A very important work."

—Paul Hawken, author of Natural Capitalism
