Focused effort on what is truly working will make an enormous difference, as will a movement with people strong and resilient on the issue, and this book guides us to both.

I, of course, see some not so great signs, too, but the progress that\u2019s being made is the irreversible, train\u2019s left the station kinda stuff, and a one-way street to a sustainable future. And it\u2019s just awesome. I\u2019ve always been an optimist, so my natural inclination is to focus more on this than on \u201cother\u201d, and it\u2019s helped keep me working in the climate space for 30 years. This is not to say that I haven\u2019t hit the wall a few times, mentally and emotionally, but, as an optimist, I\u2019ve learned to see those walls as a great structure to lean against and rest for a bit, before proceeding on.<\/p>\n<p>Psychology is clear that there are ways to stay in the game, to sleep better at night, and to be more effective in our work as a result. And it\u2019s high time that more people working in the space recognize not only that, but <strong>also start to truly gain all the mental and emotional benefits of the pure fulfillment &#038; joy that can come from a purposeful and intentional life of doing good.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s for this reason, mainly, that I wrote this book \u2013 Outta Gas. It\u2019s about getting us offa gas, without running outta gas, a bit of a double entendre.<\/p>\n<p>Because, for the first time ever, you can now get a copy of CleanTechnica Press\u2019 first book,
