Sustainabilism

Exposing the Sustainability Illusion

Beschreibung

Discover a practical path to participate consciously in shaping an authentically sustainable life, business and world. Why do so many of our efforts to fix the world seem to make it more fragile? Why do organisations burn out their people, societies divide over ideology and families fracture despite our best intentions? We work harder, invest more, yet the systems we depend on, economic, social, even personal, still spiral into dysfunction. This book invites you to look beneath these recurring dysfunctions to the hidden architecture shaping them. In this groundbreaking work, philosopher, parallel entrepreneur, philanthropist and best selling author Ashkan Tashvir exposes the illusion of doctrine based sustainability and presents a rigorous alternative, the Authentic Sustainability Framework. At its core lies the Unified Ontology of Systemic Integrity, a map of interrelated qualities that reveal why systems at every scale, individual, organisational and societal, either sustain themselves or fracture. You will explore practical models such as the Systemic Subversion Cycle, the Reconstructive Ontology of Sustainability and the Sustainability Profile, which turn analysis into diagnosis and diagnosis into regeneration. You will learn to distinguish authentic sustainability from sustainabilism, the bureaucratic version that mistakes regulation for renewal, and to design conditions where coherence emerges organically rather than being enforced. For anyone seeking to genuinely lead, create, nurture and contribute, executives redesigning culture, policymakers building resilience, educators shaping the next generation, parents raising grounded families and anyone determined to leave the world a better place, this book offers both insight and method. Cultivate the only sustainability that endures, one grounded in authenticity and systemic integrity.

Autor

Ashkan Tashvir is a multidisciplinary author, philosopher and entrepreneur whose work bridges ontology, organisational design, human development, technology and systems thinking. His intellectual pursuit is not limited to observing the world, but transforming it. Through a rare integration of philosophical inquiry and real-world execution, he has developed frameworks that directly advance human potential, leadership and the sustainability of systems.His body of work includes the Being Framework, an ontological paradigm for leadership, performance and effectiveness, adopted by leaders across more than 50 countries. Supported by applied tools such as the Being Profile, his work enables measurable growth in individuals and organisations by illuminating the human qualities that shape, or compromise, performance, integrity and systemic resilience.In parallel with this book, Ashkan has also led the development of the Sustainability Profile, an ontometric diagnostic and transformation tool designed to elevate how leaders and organisations assess and build sustainability at the human, cultural and structural levels. Mirroring the transformative impact of the Being Profile, it offers a practical pathway for leaders to cultivate authentic sustainability in themselves, their teams and the systems they shape.Sustainabilism is Ashkan's fifth book, following Being, Human Being, Becoming and Metacontent. In it, he expands his inquiry from the inner structure of the individual to the architecture of institutions, economies and civilisations, revealing how human coherence, meaning and ethical grounding determine whether systems endure or deteriorate.Ashkan's thinking is informed by Eastern, Western, Islamic and Persian philosophical traditions, as well as faith-based and scientific perspectives. Rather than taking sides, he synthesises and transcends them, offering a practical and regenerative path forward for leaders, organisations and societies. In recognition of his contributions to leadership and organisational development, he received an Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration from the College de Paris in 2024.Beyond theory, he builds. Ashkan is the founder of Engenesis, a platform for human transformation, and Engenesis Ventures, a venture-building organisation shaping ventures, technologies and leadership cultures using his ontological and systemic frameworks. His work exists not only in books and philosophy, but in enterprises, economies and futures being shaped today.Recently, Ashkan has focused increasingly on philanthropic work through GHEST, a stewardship-driven community on the Engenesis platform dedicated to human empowerment and sustainable transformation. Recognising that many individuals who would benefit most from his body of work may not pursue traditional commercial pathways, he created GHEST as a philanthropic channel to make these ideas, tools and developmental structures accessible to broader communities. His commitment in this realm is grounded in expanding human potential, fostering conscious and ethical participation and enabling individuals and groups to navigate uncertainty with integrity, humility and collective responsibility.Outside his professional life, Ashkan enjoys time with his family and dogs, especially in nature, cooking, collecting, playing music and exploring the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
