The Sunny Way : Personal development to change the world

Welcome to the new and improved Sunny Way

As you can see, today we have launched a complete redesign of The Sunny Way. What do you think?

Our goal is to simplify the design to make the articles easier to read and digest. We also want to extend the cherry tree metaphor referenced in the book Cradle to Cradle. The task of 21st century environmentalists is not to do fewer bad things to the planet; it’s to redesign human society so that prosperity, health, and beauty—not waste and inequality—are its byproducts.

You may have noticed that over the last few months we’ve focused our message to dive into the relationship between personal development and changing the world. How can pursuing our own growth as individuals and groups be part of creating a new way to live? How does our mindset impact what we are capable of building? How do we be the kind of people who can create the future we want to live in?

Everything evolves through time. What’s most interesting to me is how we can participate in that process and leap beyond the problems we have now into a clean, just, prosperous future—as Alex Steffen puts it, “A future that is both bright and green.”

To create this bright green future, we must first believe that it’s possible. Then we must hold ourselves personally responsible to see that possibility through. This requires a huge amount of strength, clarity, and community. Our hope is that The Sunny Way can support us all in finding and using those resources.

Please click around and let us know what you think of the new design and our new direction. Thanks!

Your feedback is really appreciated.

Hi Megan, this is really a great looking and beautifully simple new design, and the idea to feature the abundance of the cherry tree so prominently is perfect! Congratulations, it is a big deal to keep this running - and at the same time, I know, there is so much to ‘talk’/ write about and so much to explore that it would be good to have ‘double-days’.
The connection between inner development and changing the world is becoming ever more clear to me, looking at my freedom of response and/or lack of it in the midst of the need for truly new and creative answers to everything that is going on. Digging deep and reaching high, onward into what hasn’t happened yet! Uli

Hey Megan,  the new redesign looks great, your pieces are so nicely focused and I think that focus is enhanced by all the space around each page.  After all,I don’t think most readers need more information, but more carefully expressed points of view as you are surely doing here with all your work.  Thank You!
