Focusing on the practice of environmental sustainability, this handbook will explore the application of sustainability in a wide variety of contemporary contexts—from economics of consumption and growth to government policy, sustainable cities, and sustainable planet. The editors believe that the way to achieve sustainable, harmonious living in all spheres is through \u003ci\u003elived \u003c\/i\u003eor \u003ci\u003eengaged sustainability \u003c\/i\u003eat the personal, team, and organizational levels. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIt is impossible to separate economic development issues from environment issues. In its most practical aspect, sustainability is about understanding the interconnections among environment, society, and economy. This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current theories and approaches in the area of \u003ci\u003eengaged sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e for academics, researchers and practitioners. Specifically, it will focus on making responsible decisions that will reduce humanity’s negative impact on the environment. While various social and political initiatives for sustainability are welcome, one cannot really enact sustainability into legislative laws. Something has to change fundamentally at the level of a common person in the street.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Engaged Sustainability\u003c\/i\u003e acknowledges the classic literature, theories and principles in the area of sustainability, but also provides new theories and approaches from global scholars and practitioners in the field.

This book will serve as an essential resource for researchers, scholars and students of sustainability, ethics, corporate social responsibility and environmental economics, as well as consultants, business and team leaders, and anyone interested in engaged sustainability. \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSatinder Dhiman, PhD, EdD, MBA, MCOM\u003c\/b\u003e serves as Associate Dean, Chair, and Director of the MBA Program and Professor of Management at Woodbury University’s School of Business.  He holds a PhD in Social Sciences from Tilburg University, Netherlands; a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University, Los Angeles; an MBA from West Coast University, Los Angeles; and an MCOM (with the gold medal) from the Panjab University, India. \u003cem\u003eHe has also completed advanced Executive Leadership programs at Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor Dhiman teaches courses pertaining to ethical leadership, sustainability, organizational behavior \u0026amp; strategy, and spirituality in the workplace in the MBA program.
