This book argues for a 'politics of sufficiency' that encourages sustainable lifestyles and responsible resource use, advocating policies that support the 'Good Life.' The concept challenges traditional growth-oriented policies, proposing a framework that allows for greater individual and societal well-being within ecological limits. The book calls for public discourse and political commitment to achieve these aims.
