Description
Our current economic system-which assumes endless growth and limitless potential wealth-flies in the face of the fact that the earth's resources are finite.

Speaking most urgently to students, teachers, trainers, and athletes, Make It Stick will appeal to all those interested in the challenge of lifelong learning and self-improvement.
