The creative impulse can, quite literally, change the world. Better explores the intersection of sustainability and art, showing how each of us can reinvent our lives as our greatest artistic achievement. Presented in the context of the unique story of Better Farm, a blueprint for environmentally conscious living originally established as an intentional community, this unusual guide blends theory with practical, hands-on, DIY ideas to incite your own creative adventures, including: Upcycling trash into treasure Turning your fish tank into a garden Making your yard or balcony a work of art Better is a concrete application of the Better Theory, which views every experience—good or bad—as an opportunity for exponential personal growth.

A must-read for anyone who questions the purpose of the daily grind or grapples with the need for more meaning in his or her life.
