People have long asked what it might mean to live "a good life". This question has informed and shaped the way I have attempted to live myself, and is also, indirectly, the subject of the book, "Love is Green: compassion in response to the ecological emergency" which is based on my PhD thesis, "From respect for nature to realisation as agency in response to the ecological emergency". I decided when I left university as a graduate that I was much more interested in contributing to the common good, whatever that might mean, than in furthering what might have benefitted me alone. I'm now in a situation where I finally understand that one cannot have one (the common good) without the other (the individual good) and this is also at the heart of my recent research. I really hope that people will read and respond to my book, and that this will give me the incentive to work further on what I think is the key to our response to the ecological emergency. All support, comments, and ideas are gratefully received. Many thanks for reading and may you realise love!
