‘Life, Money and Illusion,’ is the latest book by Mike Nickerson

‘Life, Money and Illusion,’ is the latest book by Mike Nickerson centred on sustainability and the world we live in today.

It is the follow up to his book ‘Seven Generations,’ which put forth the long standing idea of looking at what we as humans are doing in our world and its impact on Seven Generations down the road.

‘Life, Money and Illusion,’ points out the basic inconsistencies between the life paradigm and economic convention. People are slowly learning about the ecological reality of the basics of resource limitations, and how the unfolding impacts of these issues are having a direct affect on our well-being.

One idea that Mike is trying to get on the social and political agenda is the idea of how we measure our success in our world He wants us to switch from the economic growth model and look at our ‘Well Being Measurement.. How we might establish a, 'Genuine Progress Index.’

Mike Nickerson will be in Calgary on July 4, 2006 to address a group of people on the above subject as a part of his cross Canada book tour.

If you would like to talk to him as a part of an interview or story, please call Norm Greenfield at 403-807-1251 or provocostatusquo@hotmail.com
