i’ve never read a philosophy-based book like this before.  i can’t say it changed my perspective, but i spelled out how i feel about Takers so succinctly that it felt like i was reading my thoughts in conversation with a cultural healer. we belong to the world. 

I can honestly say this is a book every person should read. It's a lot to take in, but it has made me think of life in a whole new way. Open your mind to this one, you'll be amazed.

Everyone should read this...

It took me quite a long time to finish this book. Afterwards, I appreciate the idea that we need a new story to tell and that we don't have to go back to Hunter-gatherer lifestyles to live more gently. I just am not excited by the writing style. So, while the message is good and worthwhile, the book was hard to get through.

What. A. Book. Ever thought about the real meaning of the Genesis and the Grand Myth we live in? Daniel Quinn has a pretty damn good guess about it. Mind-blowing read.
