Duane’s new book, The Living Universe, explores a new paradigm that is vital for building a sustainable future; namely, a shift from regarding the universe as fragmented and dead to seeing it as unified and alive.

"No book describes more accurately or guides us more powerfully to the world now waiting to be born."
—Marianne Williamson, author, A Return to Love

Global Trends, Consciousness, and a Sustainable Future

 
Two of Duane’s books explore a sustainable future and a new social consciousness: Promise Ahead and Awakening Earth. Two mini-documentaries on this theme are: “The Human Journey” and “Is Humanity Growing Up?” Key writing includes the reports: Global Consciousness Change and Collective Consciousness and Cultural Healing.

Voluntary Simplicity and Simple Ways of Living

Duane’s best selling book Voluntary Simplicity has been named the “bible of the simplicity movement.” His articles, “Cool Lifestyle for a Hot Planet,” and “The Garden of Simplicity” describe a range of approaches to green living that are thriving in the world. The article “Voluntary Simplicity” that he co-authored in 1977 helped launch the modern simplicity movement. Also see the mini-documentary “Crash or Bounce.” Stay tuned for a second revised edition of Voluntary Simplicity that will be published in late 2009.
