In the Eco Lifestyle and Destiny book, Henri Maalouf describes the principles of a community or philosophy termed “Ecolism”. This lifestyle emphasizes ecological awareness and sustainable living. Also, simultaneously advocates for ethical behavior, respect for human rights, and a profound belief in the interconnectedness of life. The foundations of Ecolism resonate with various disciplines and practices such as environmentalism, social justice, and spirituality.  at the same time, Ecolism combines the Eco lifestyle with the evolving understanding of science like epigenetics.

Eco Lifestyle and Destiny is an encompassing worldview, an ideal where people live harmoniously with the planet and each other. They respect both individual and collective rights and strive for a balanced Eco-socio-economic ecosystem. Neurogenesis, epigenetics, and spirituality suggest a fusion of modern scientific knowledge and ancient wisdom. This aligns with the increasingly popular understanding that our consciousness, our environment, and even our genetics are intertwined.

The recognition of our capacity to change our own DNA is a reference to the groundbreaking field of epigenetics. It posits that our genes can be “switched on” or “off” based on our lifestyle, experiences, and even thoughts. This is a radical shift from the deterministic view of genetics, adding a layer of personal responsibility and destiny.

The invocation of thought power and its correlation to life outcomes echoes spiritual and philosophical teachings from various traditions. From this perspective, thoughts are not just passive mental phenomena; they are active agents of change that can shape reality. It is unlike the scientific principle that observation can affect the observed in quantum physics.

Henri Maalouf suggests a journey to a better world begins with self-improvement, with people taking responsibility for their thoughts and actions. Ecolism encourages the pursuit of knowledge, understanding of our circumstances, and taking the initiative to instigate positive change. The conclusion is once we understand the root causes of diverse lifestyles, we can work towards better societal structures. A social structure that promotes equality, well-being, and harmony with the natural world.

Ecolism presents a compelling view of a sustainable and ethical way of life. The combination of ancient wisdom and modern scientific understanding lends it a holistic approach to dealing with the challenges of our time. The philosophy of Ecolism could inspire individuals and communities to strive for change.
