Psychology for a Better World

I have just released a book Psychology for a Better World: Strategies to Inspire Sustainability. It includes lots of refererences to my experiences with Transition Pt Chevalier.

It is free to download (or $15 for a hard copy) from:

Psychology for a Better World is for those who believe it is worth trying to make a world in which both our species and the ecosystems we depend on can flourish. The book is based on the latest research in psychology and is jam packed with action strategies. It offers new ways to think about how people interact in social settings, why we are tempted to stick with what we know, and how the same characteristics that currently keep us hooked into unsustainable practices can be used to move us forward. The final chapter is a guide to help you analyse what you are doing to contribute towards a better world, and how you can be more effective while simultaneously increasing your personal wellbeing.

I was interviewed by Kim Hill on Radio NZ:

I am very happy to do local or virtual talks or workshops, and would be delighted to get feedback on the book. I’d also love to get reviews – so if you are able to review it for any outlet, that would be fabulous.
