Earth is Hiring: The New way to live, lead, earn and give for millennials and anyone who gives a sh*t by Peta Kelly

The promise of Earth is Hiring is that life doesn’t have to be a job to be meaningful and abundant. That we can all bring our unique energy and solutions to the table, share our individual gifts with the world, and live a life full of abundance. Author Peta Kelly argues that this is the "new way" of living, leading, earning and giving for millennials, and anyone else ready to make a positive impact with their life.

In the book, Kelly lays out her “Soul-based economy” approach. She emphasizes that millennials should pursue what feeds their soul and impact the world, instead of searching for traditional notions of success. According to her, when we steer from our intuition and align with what really matters to us, we can create a thriving economy—the soul-based economy.

Kelly starts by introducing the reader to her journey from an apprentice to a globally recognized expert, a potent reminder that we can all create a life of our own design. She then goes on to explain that the soul-based economy has five parts: Permaculture (an agricultural system focused on regenerative, rather than deplete, cultivation of soil and land), Activism, Communities of Practice, Open-source Solutions, and the Sharing Economy. These can be used as individual threads that have the potential to transform the traditional economy.

Kelly suggests that permaculture is the foundation of the soul-based economy and that, when combined with activism and communities of practice, we can create wealth and economic infrastructure that is regenerative, equitable, and restores balance in the natural world. In addition, she encourages us to embrace open-source solutions and harness the power of the sharing economy to create meaningful projects that can help expand access to everyone.

In her philosophy, Kelly calls on readers to take responsibility for their own destiny, to think outside the box, and to be the creators of their own future. She emphasizes that, by their decisions and actions, millennials and anyone else who cares can make a difference.

In her passionate conclusion, Kelly encourages readers to commit to the cause and never give up:

“Whatever it is that you’re passionate about, don’t stop. Keep showing up to your cause and keep contributing. Because in the end, it only takes one person to start a movement, one person to turn a dream into a reality, and it could be you.”

Finally, Kelly provides a simple action plan that readers can take to start their own projects that are aligned with their values and dreams. Her advice and her ultimate goal is to help people create a soul-based economy that promotes abundance, respect for the natural world, and a sense of interconnectedness.

Earth is Hiring is a must-read for any millennial or anyone who cares about making a positive impact in the world. Through her own experience, expertise and passion, Peta Kelly shows us that it doesn’t have to be a traditional job to make a difference, but instead, with intention and vision, we can all create our own life of abundance.
