The Living Truth

THE LIVING TRUTH is the foundational volume of the Living Library and the opening work of the Institute for Living Systems.It begins with first principles-that the flourishing of life is the true measure of every belief, system, institution, and action-and immediately turns toward practice.From nourishment and shelter to materials, economics, governance, and community, this book introduces an integrated field of inquiry: the study of the conditions most conducive to the flourishing of Life as a Whole.These pages are not offered as finished answers, but as demonstrations in progress-invitations to discover, embody, and continually refine ways of living in right relationship with the living systems that sustain us.The work begins. The inquiry continues.
