"The shift to sustainable ways of living and working is not just a good idea, it is an evolutionary imperative. Jane's passion for and understanding of the interconnectedness of all life and how to realign ourselves to work with and thrive inside the web of life is a valuable contribution to the field of sustainable thinking."

"Building on the paradigm-shifting insights of celebrated Chilean biologist Humberto Maturana, Jane Cull reveals how our purportedly rationalistic civilization is in fact based on a particular emotioning, and until we become aware of it, our fate cannot be shifted from its current unsustainable path. It is an ironic lesson in circularity: what we believe we are most separated from, inevitably most binds us to our fate. Jane Cull shows how in embracing circularity and interconnectedness, we can set forth on a path that is truly sustainable." More...

"Jane Cull has built on some of the most powerful ideas and knowledge from leading edge scientists and thinkers, and she has integrated these ideas into a powerful narrative that can not only awaken us from the cultural dream of consumption, materialism, and separation from nature, but it can also transform us and our worldview. She offers us a new worldview "the circularity of life" as a way for us to see ourselves as connected to all of life and our planet. From this worldview we can begin to build a world that is sustainable for all living things. This book is rich in knowledge, inspiration, and practical advice for all concerned citizens who want to live and build a truly sustainable world." More...
Since the industrial revolution, we have been radically changing the natural environment, through our actions and our consumptive, materialistic lifestyles. Environmentally, the toxins and pollutants that we produce impact not only on ourselves, but on every other living organism with which we share this planet.
There is now irrefutable evidence of the destructive effects of our actions on the viability of life on earth. If we are to survive, we need to understand our place within the web of life that sustains us. This can only be achieved through a shift in worldview.
Inspired by the work of Chilean systems biologist Dr Humberto Maturana, Jane Cull has written The Circularity of Life, a powerful work that points to a new way forward that is not only possible, but is essential to our survival.
Esteemed internationally as a trail blazer in the field of sustainability, Jane maintains that the human race is at the threshold of the next phase in its evolution. This will mean a paradigm shift from the current individualistic view that underpins a superficial and materialistic way of living, to a perception of life that is, in its essence, interconnected and circular.
In her book, Jane opens our eyes to this inescapable reality - that we as human beings are interconnected in a vast circular system. The book then goes on to lay the foundations for this important paradigm shift, where our living and relating becomes based on social and environmental sustainability. It will be a whole new way of living and doing business globally that involves the design and implementation of alternative technologies that do not harm or impinge upon the web of life, but are instead congruent with it.
Anyone that is interested in sustainability not just on a personal level, but also on a big picture level, needs to read this book.
