Truly sustainable development can be conceptualized as the sustained attempt to let something or somebody unfold its potential according to its own unique nature. Against the unsustainable paradigms of mass production and overconsumption in today’s world, the chapter presents a series of lesser-known counternarratives of sustainable development which disconnect the world of business from the anxiety of busyness and reconnects it to a broader context of being grounded and connected to the Earth, mindful of the biomechanics of our own bodies and embodying a sensitive mindset of sustainable development. This approach is aligned with the first principle of true storytelling which urges us to be true to ourselves in the sense of caring for and developing a sustainable future, not only for ourselves, but for all living beings.
