This volume discusses the grand challenges of the Anthropocene era and explores how the economy can be transformed to serve the wellbeing of humans and nature in an integrated way. It develops a broad, spiritually informed view of the economy and argues for the need to shift the underlying materialistic value orientation of current economic and business functioning. The author argues that without adopting a non-materialistic value orientation, it is not possible for humanity to survive and flourish in the Anthropocene. Economic actors should abandon the single goal of financial wealth creation; instead, they should focus on wellbeing creation, which serves the flourishing of human and non-human beings in the present and the future. The book presents dozens of practical business models and working policies from different industries and countries to move in the direction of a wellbeing economy. Additionally, it discusses the required holistic methodology, which goes beyond the prevailing reductionist science of today. Finally, the book offers a spiritually based ethics that may motivate individuals, organizations, and larger social entities to transform themselves into planet-positive change agents.
