A Paradise Built in Hell“Why is it that in the aftermath of a disaster--whether manmade or natural--people suddenly become altruistic, resourceful, and brave?

PAST BOOKS
The Art of Gathering
|
Book club dates: Jan-Feb 2020
Book Summary: "Every day we find ourselves in gatherings, Priya Parker says in The Art of Gathering. If we can understand what makes these gatherings effective and memorable, then we can reframe and redirect them to benefit everyone, host and guest alike. Parker defines a gathering as three or more people who come together for a specific purpose." Meg's Take: This book is the foundation of my social justice work and truly transformed how I see the world. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37424706-the-art-of-gathering |
The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible
|
Book club dates: Oct-Dec 2019
Book Summary: "In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do to make the world a better place? This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what’s true: we are all connected, and our small, personal choices bear unsuspected transformational power." Meg's Take: This book is the foundation of my social justice work and truly transformed how I see the world. https://charleseisenstein.org/books/the-more-beautiful-world-our-hearts-know-is-possible/ |
