Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed a major disruption in how people live their lives. Impacts are visible in all domains of practice. It has affected the way we work, study, entertain, consume, socialize, develop and experience family life and love relationships, the means as much as the contents for our wellbeing and financial security, how we approach healthcare issues, our role as citizens and perceptions of authorities, and even the meaning of household and living habitats. This report scans and projects what these impacts are and what they mean for working towards a sustainable future. In particular, we focus on the implications for progressing in the direction of sustainable lifestyles, recognized as one vital goal and perspective to build effective game-changing, purpose oriented action.
