What is Brian Hewlett truly about?

Dr. Hewlett has committed his life to the promoting the following four major concepts to humanity in all of his work.

  • “Limitless Ideas and Free Environments”

    Is the concept that individuals and groups can create environments of freedom for themselves by simply understanding that their greatest limitations are those they believe they have and those they surrender to in their society. By raising awareness that ideas are potentially limitless, people can be free to join in the creation of the social world they desire for themselves and for their loved ones.

  • “Love of Self, love of Others, and love of the Planet”

    By this, we simply mean that true love starts with self. If you can’t love yourself, you have no real model of how to love others or anything around you in nature. At the same time if you work to love others, others will love you back and help you generate the true love for yourself that you need. Once one reaches a place of self love and love of others, they can no longer ignore connectedness, which is easily extended to the places and spaces in which we live, thereby moving people to love the planet that we inhabit.

  • “Regenerative Urban Habitation”

    For the past few decades, human society has focused on finding ways to reconstitute the trash we generate or what we discard into something that is usable. This is a commendable start toward a sustainable world but the problem is we produce trash in the first place based on a consciousness that something must be discarded; particularly in our urban centers. Ideally nothing should be produced without pre-determined reusability or regenerative properties. In other words, this is about moving our urban inhabitants from a consciousness of mass producing “recyclables” to one of reducing production to “reusables” that help regenerate necessary resources.

  • “Resource Exchange and Sharing”

    There is too much redundancy in our communities and it is fostered by an altered American Dream that success comes at the hand of every individual accumulating their own resources. This is a falsity that all people in this world who have reached success know is not true. In fact, success clearly depends on having others utilize their resources to support your objectives. Therefore, it is not farfetched to understand that community success relies on the same process of resource contributions from individuals to replenish resources in exchange for other resources provided by the community and individuals sharing resource surpluses rather than accumulating more of the same resource and laying to waist current surpluses.
