Fixation

“Goldmark argues eloquently, with a dose of both Pollan and Schumacher, that our scattered household junk holds a far greater value (and danger) than we think. Fixation will make you view the greater world in a broken toaster, and hopefully inspire you to care enough to help make it whole again.”–David Sax, bestselling author of “The Soul of an Entrepreneur” and “The Revenge of Analog”“Through innovation and invitation, Fixation challenges us to rethink ‘stuff.’ The stuff we use, the stuff we don’t use, and the relationships we have to all this stuff. Goldmark’s candor, humor, and rich references raise questions for personal healing at the bedroom-closet level to a social revolution on a global scale. An important read for dynamic times like these.”–Cynthia Li, integrative medicine physician and author of “Brave New Medicine”“A copy of Fixation is one of the best gifts you could give or receive…Getting beyond this unsustainable economy will require changes in attitudes, changes in education, changes in the manufacturing and retail changes, changes in wage allocations. Goldmark addresses all of these weighty subjects in beautifully accessible ways.”– “Resilience”“For brands and businesses searching for a clear path to sustainable growth in today’s complex and challenged world, Fixation is required reading. Goldmark’s fresh perspective on the need for new economic models and circular systems presents a convincing argument–and a real roadmap–for fruitful solutions and meaningful change.”–KoAnn Vikoren Skrzyniarz, Founder and CEO, Sustainable Brands Worldwide
