Surviving the Future Short Course Lives well-lived’ in a time of transition “Where’s the world heading?” “How should we live?” “How can we resource ourselves and each other?” <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=9aee321315&e=fbea706efe> <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=c9213d1fb8&e=fbea706efe> Lives well-lived’ in a time of transition *“Where’s the world heading?” “How should we live?” “What work should we do?” “How can we resource ourselves and each other?* In December 2017, Sterling College hosted a two-day symposium <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=a02259ad40&e=fbea706efe> sparked by the posthumous publication of Dr. David Fleming’s extraordinary books, *Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive it <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=6ca33a48ad&e=fbea706efe>*, and its sister publication, *Surviving the Future: Culture, Carnival and Capital in the Aftermath of the Market Economy <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=d6469fb584&e=fbea706efe>* . Building on the success of that event, join Post Carbon Institute Senior Fellow Richard Heinberg (a friend of Fleming’s), The Rules co-founder Martin Kirk and Sterling College President Matthew Derr for a three-day course exploring what ‘lives well-lived’ look like in this time of transition.

And as capitalism’s former largesse continues to shrink away, that future is becoming daily reality for ever more of us. Now is the time to repair or replace the atrophied social and ecological structures on which most human cultures were built, as the basis for a nourishing, cohesive society that might survive the turbulent times to come. This is the story of our times, and living it imbues our days with meaning.

"I refer to Surviving the Future as my Bible, in that it brings me solace and helps me to understand the world and my place in it. I look through its passages and dog-eared pages and it explains to me why I’m thinking this way; why I feel this way. It’s loose, accessible and funny, and yet deeply true. It reminds me, through the language that is unique to David Fleming, why I’m really motivated, often, to get up in the morning. This work is so central to what I believe is necessary." ~ Peter Buffett, composer and author; co-president of the NoVo Foundation [image: Instagram] <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=ed11c90467&e=fbea706efe> [image: Facebook] <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=0b9bd27277&e=fbea706efe> [image: Twitter] <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=ce7578970c&e=fbea706efe> [image: Pinterest] <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=b7f7bba5fa&e=fbea706efe> [image: YouTube] <https://chelseagreen.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=601c4304348f71e6047556d16&id=ff48ca8a3c&e=fbea706efe> *Copyright © 2018 Chelsea Green Publishing, All rights reserved.* You are receiving this email because you signed up for our newsletter at ChelseaGreen.com *Our mailing address is:* Chelsea Green Publishing 85 North Main Street <https://maps.google.com/?q=85+North+Main+Street+Suite+120+White+River+Junction+,++VT+05001&entry=gmail&source=g> Suite 120 <https://maps.google.com/?q=85+North+Main+Street+Suite+120+White+River+Junction+,++VT+05001&entry=gmail&source=g> White River Junction <https://maps.google.com/?q=85+North+Main+Street+Suite+120+White+River+Junction+,++VT+05001&entry=gmail&source=g>, VT <https://maps.google.com/?q=85+North+Main+Street+Suite+120+White+River+Junction+,++VT+05001&entry=gmail&source=g> 05001 <https://maps.google.com/?q=85+North+Main+Street+Suite+120+White+River+Junction+,++VT+05001&entry=gmail&source=g> -- Lawrence F.
