Tips for a Sustainable Life
"In today’s anxiety-ridden, stress-infused world, even a moment of quiet reflection has become a time-consuming luxury most of us just can’t afford. How did we reach this point? How did we lose our direction and sense of control? And, most importantly, how can we reclaim our lives?
"Linda Kavelin Popov asked herself these same questions after the pressures of her own workaholic lifestyle nearly destroyed her. Now as cofounder of The Virtues Project International, she helps others achieve a pace of grace—a pace for our lives that can balance and sustain us physically and spiritually." - (excerpt from back cover)
"A Pace of Grace contains vivid examples of how to make our daily lives meaningful. I offer my prayers that those readers who sincerely put them into practice will achieve that inner peace that is the key to lasting happiness." – His Holiness the Dalai Lama

22 years of walking. 17 years of silence.
"In 1971 an oil spill in San Francisco Bay changed John Francis’s life forever. Helping to clean up wasn’t enough; he sought a way to contribute to the health of our planet in a personal way. The solution he came up with was unconventional and courageous—to give up the use of all motorized vehicles and walk everywhere. Several months later, he took a vow of silence...
"During the 22 years that Francis walked, he scaled mountain ranges, crossed barren deserts, and saw America from the Pacific to the Atlantic. He hiked across Cuba and Brazil and visited both Alaska and Antarctica. And in the process, he managed to earn college and graduate degrees and a Ph.D. in land resources." (Back cover)
"Illustrated with Francis’s drawings... Planetwalker chronicles positive experiences and challenging times, bears witness to the beauty of our world and the vivid characters who inhabit it, and shares the insights of a pilgrim philosopher who has truly earned his wisdom step by step." (Inside cover)
An inspiring environmental journey for our time
