Definition
The ratio of usable energy gained from a resource to the energy required to obtain it.
Interpretation
The math of sustainability. EROI reminds us: not all energy is equal. Some systems feed us back. Others bleed us dry. Life asks us to choose wisely — where is the loop that gives more than it takes?
Living Invitation
Audit your day: where did your energy go? Did it return in joy, connection, meaning — or did it vanish into burnout? Adjust accordingly.
