Prosper Book Launch

Presentation by local Author ADAM TAGGART

Come and join us for a great discussion
on what steps to take for creating a more
resilient future for yourself, your family,
your community, and our Earth.

"Virtually everything we take for granted is on an unsustainable trajectory. Our economic model demands perpetual growth-indefinitely. Exponentially increasing levels of debt, overuse of ecosystems, and ever-accelerating depletion of fossil fuels are just a few of the many examples of practices that cannot continue forever."

The book "Prosper" dedicates itself to what steps we can take to become more resilient.

Resilience is

1. the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

2. the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

The authors of this book focus on "tangible, practical guidance on how to build greater resilience in your personal life." They focus on 8 forms of capital, putting importance on each of them not just one single form. During the presentation and in the book, each form of capital will be discussed: Financial, Living, Material, Knowledge, Emotional, Social, Cultural, and Time.

The authors encourage you to take a moment to "ask yourself what items in your life you're counting on being there in the future, especially in times of need. What would happen to you if they weren't? How resilient are you? "

Your $15 ticket includes both the presentation as well as a signed copy of this inspiring book.
