Reviews for Some of my books
The New Normal is powerful, grounded reading for the challenges of 21st-century living. The author offers a detailed 33-point “new normal agenda” built on convincing statistical and anecdotal information. —Kirkus Review
Shrewd analysis, passionate, pro-active take on the global change paradigm,… The New Normal is a rational and surprisingly optimistic set of solutions to a distressing issue. Its practical guidance will surely inspire. —Publishers Weekly
David Wann makes a compelling case that the current fiscal squeeze is really a good thing in Simple Prosperity. A coauthor of the best selling Affluenza, he covers a lot of solution-oriented ground, from conscientious consumption and cohousing to building human-scale neighborhoods and dismantling the fossil fuel economy… Utne Reader
In Simple Prosperity David Wann has woven together all the right stuff to make a compelling and appealing case for the abundance of enough and the poverty of more. Vicki Robin, coauthor, Your Money or Your Life
“Dave Wann’s recipes from his own experience in Simple Prosperity are a breath of fresh air, and just what we need for a saner future. They include ideas, sound research and down-to-earth advice we can all use. This book is also much more: a friendly, personal guidebook for living a more enjoyable, healthy, loving life.”–Hazel Henderson, author, Ethical Markets: Growing The Green Economy
Affluenza has easily passed the test of time and become an American classic. Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
The way to end a nightmare is to wake up, and Affluenza is an alarm clock! Paul Hawken, author of Drawdown and Regeneration
From The New Normal:
“We are truly at the end of an era; sorely in need of systemic change that can and must be a turning point in history. We’ve worn nature out and ourselves, too, trying to comply with mandates for constantly increasing profits, productivity, speed and mobility. Now it is time for a restorative era, rich in nature-friendly, ingenious design and human culture that’s It’s time for a renaissance of human values.”
