"In the carefully crafted pages of ECOpreneuring, Kivirist and Ivanko weave together a perspective that can transform how you think about work -- and a more sustainable life. Their timely book is jam-packed with the necessary details to sort out what it means to live simply and sustainably in an economy that fosters life, not depletes it. As it turns out, beyond a certain point, there's an inverse relationship between financial wealth and personal well-being. ECOpreneuring illuminates a radically different approach both working and living."
