Book SynopsisOllie Hunter is back with his second book, Join the Greener Revolution. This time he's tackling sustainability in our day-to-day lives and explaining why our current system isn't working and exploring future options for how we can create and live in a more sustainable world. Following the groundbreaking 30 Easy Ways to Join the Food Revolution, Ollie Hunter is back with his second book – and this time he's tackling everyday sustainability. Returning to the three main principles introduced in his first book: Zero Waste, Organic and 50% Produce within 30 miles, Ollie illustrates how we can endeavour to use natural resources sustainably. All chapters are punctuated with Ollie's trademark recipes from Tomato Leaf Focaccia to Dandelion and Courgette Pakoras and Chickpea Scotch Eggs with Aquafaba Aioli. Join the Greener Revolution is split into three main sections:Home – How do we make our homes more green? From kitchen to bathroom and into the bedroom, this book looks at ways we can transform our houses into easy-to-run, energy-efficient homes. It's time to quit cling film, make our own shampoo, consider where are clothes come from.Community – This section outlines ideas we can bring to our daily lives, from taking a break (and avoiding palm oil chocolate bars) and getting to know our neighbours, to collaborating with our community, and linking local businesses together to cut down on waste.World – Who takes the blame and does it really matter? The way to a more joyful life is through forgiveness, positive visualisation and meditation. Ollie balances these steps with a more environmentally conscious system of economics and a move away from individuality and 'non-responsibility' so we can create a more sustainable, ecological and mindful world. Join the Greener Revolution is a manifesto calling us to come together, to take responsibility and strive to rebuild our relationships with our local communities, our individual connection to the world, and rediscover the joy in living and eating green.

PART 1: The power of the flywheel Forget work/life balance. You need a flywheel Rapid changes in the workplace mean many more now understand they need to adapt and evolve to stay ahead within companies or by ‘going it alone’. Increased digital connectivity has opened up new opportunities but can cause overwhelm as we struggle to focus on the important things. We need to align career and personal life, so they work in harmony. The Work/Life Flywheel provides the tools to create an ever-evolving process that works to your rhythms, helps you identify your intrinsic motivations, and is compassionate towards the non-linearity of your life. 2. How Amazon became an unstoppable force Introducing Jim Collins’s flywheel framework. How businesses of different types have benefitted from the ‘flywheel effect’, whether inadvertently or by design. The importance of constantly experimenting and evolving. 3. Why the flywheel will work for you Interconnected components of the flywheel feed into each other, creating complementary benefits and building momentum. Establishing the right mindset creates the right conditions for creativity and problem-solving. Building the right connections allows you to generate the feedback you need to learn, which leads to breakthroughs. The breakthroughs help validate or improve your thinking, which feeds into a positive mindset of progress and purpose. PART 2: Building your flywheel4. Mindset: Are you ready for this? Understanding what drives you and what’s motivating your desire for more autonomy. How creating more Flow in your life will increase a feeling of purpose, improve productivity and drive performance. Why establishing a positive and proactive approach to your physical, mental and financial health is critical to your career development. The role of curiosity and opening your mind to new experiences. 5. Creativity: The robots are coming The world of work is changing – you’d better get creative if you want a long, successful career. Creativity is not just art or playing music, but applies to how we design companies, create cures to disease and solve disputes. Explore where creativity contributes to flow, particularly the skills/challenge balance and working at our edge. Growth of creator and passion economy, including the 1000 True Fans and 100 True Fans models, and the power of ‘niching down’. Developing a new approach to how you manage your time that optimises for creativity. 6. Experimentation: Testing, testing Thinking about yourself as a scientist, testing out your ways of being creative – writing, creating videos, problem-solving, generating new business ideas – in different environments, and approaching different tasks. Get over your imposter syndrome, and don’t be afraid to fail - that’s part of the process. Too much thinking and not enough action results in no progress – use technology but most importantly, people to test out ideas and get feedback. Measure what matters – creating clear, ambitious goals is essential to validate your ideas. 7. Connections: Network effects Increased connectivity means we don’t need to limit people we work with to those in our locale. So, how do you cultivate your global network? As we focus on our niche, how do you identify the people that can help us progress? Digitisation has led to more fractured lives, so giving is as important as receiving in building connections. Feedback through social platforms achieves quantitative scale in our testing; discussing it with someone provides qualitative feedback. Using content creation to nurture relationships. Networking for introverts and how to create teams of other like-minded, independent workers. 8. Learning: Positive education We’re going to be living a lot longer, and you need to be prepared to keep learning and reskilling. Monetising your skills in entirely new ways is vital, as human creativity and attention become the most precious resource of the 21st century. Alternatives to formal education and taking responsibility for your own career development. Creating mastermind groups. Think about macro and micro-learning– what are the global trends that you need to be aware of; what areas of focus give you unique insights. 9. Breakthroughs: Work less, achieve more The value of small wins to gain momentum in your flywheel. What to do when the process doesn’t go to plan and how to feed that learning into establishing the right mindset to ‘go again.’ Countering burnout and the feeling that you’re on a treadmill, not a flywheel. Measuring progress and how it relates to purpose. Macro-breakthroughs vs micro breakthroughs – how to use each of them to build momentum. The importance of reflective moments to the evolution of your flywheel. PART 3: Propelling you forward10. Work-in-progress We’ve been around the flywheel once, but this is just the start. How to iterate and evolve each stage of the process. Why a vital part of the process is adapting and sharing your experiences with your new community of co-collaborators. Trusting the process and how to get over self-doubt. AcknowledgementsIndex
