He has written several books, most recently Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible. His background includes a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy from Yale, a decade in Taiwan as a translator, and stints as a college instructor, a yoga teacher, and a construction worker.
