The bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence and
Primal Leadership now brings us Ecological
Intelligence—revealing the hidden environmental consequences of
what we make and buy, and how with that knowledge we can drive the
essential changes we all must make to save our planet and
ourselves.
We buy “herbal” shampoos that contain industrial chemicals that
can threaten our health or contaminate the environment. We dive
down to see coral reefs, not realizing that an ingredient in our
sunscreen feeds a virus that kills the reef. We wear organic cotton
t-shirts, but don’t know that its dyes may put factory workers at
risk for leukemia. In Ecological Intelligence, Daniel
Goleman reveals why so many of the products that are labeled green
are a “mirage,” and illuminates our wild inconsistencies in
response to the ecological crisis.
Drawing on cutting-edge research, Goleman explains why we as
shoppers are in the dark over the hidden impacts of the goods and
services we make and consume, victims of a blackout of information
about the detrimental effects of producing, shipping, packaging,
distributing, and discarding the goods we buy.
But the balance of power is about to shift from seller to buyer,
as a new generation of technologies informs us of the ecological
facts about products at the point of purchase. This “radical
transparency” will enable consumers to make smarter purchasing
decisions, and will drive companies to rethink and reform their
businesses, ushering in, Goleman claims, a new age of competitive
advantage.
