Will enough people take meaningful steps to reduce their ecological footprint soon enough to avoid large-scale ecological collapse? In his recently released book A New Psychology for Sustainability Leadership: The Hidden Power of Ecological Worldviews, Dr. Steven Schein posits that sustainability leaders have developed an ecological self, a post-conventional worldview, and an enhanced systems consciousness.
