Eco-Despair is an overwhelming and incapacitating sense that the planet's self-inflicted problems are beyond solution. A.J. Chopra was in the business of providing creative solutions. As senior partner and co-owner of Synetics, Inc., a Cambridge, MA-based consulting firm, he helped people to develop creative solutions for problems, be they technical, marketing, organizational, interpersonal, or strategic. But he couldn't solve his own problem, an acute case of eco-despair. This is his story of how he found himself on the precipice, and how he found a path to return to safety and sanity. "Moving to the Earth's Beat" is published by The Public Press, an imprint that puts the fewest possible filters or impediments between the creator and audience.
