nicollej's review against another edition
I’m not rating this book and marking it complete. I made it over 50% through and some of the ideologies discussed didn’t sit well with me. I love the idea of community but as a constant giver, being told to give more was a bit difficult.

It feels like it was the right time for me to read this book, as I think about continuing to build community — with people who’ve been in my life since birth, those I’ve yet to meet and everyone in between. Community feels super important to me right now and I appreciated learning about the ways people featured in this book have built (and continue to build) community and why it’s so important, for our present and future.

Such a great book. Family, friends, and community takes work but they're worth reclaiming and so necessary in our lives. The American dream tells you you're alone and that you need to do it on your own, but it's not true.

I loved this book! It is not so much a manual than a collection of personal accounts and inspiring projects that somehow build a whole, especially focussing on how people outside of the societal mainstream are exactly who we should be looking to for ideas. A book full of hope, full of ways to build structure with our shared humanity and longing for connection at its centre.
