I’m not a self help fan but I definitely loved this book. It’s about finding your community. It’s about how community is the only thing that is going to save us. It is heavily parent based and I have no kids so that part was not for me. I loved that the no kid aunties are appreciated though! I think it has amazing points about how individualism and capitalism are killing us. We need collectivism, community and the ability to rely on each other now more than ever. I feel motivated to keep trying to be the best member of the community that I can be and take care of others while I cam able. Help without being asked. A great read to help feel less
alone.

This book was super helpful in thinking about how I want to create community in my life, and make my existing relationships closer and more intimate. Covid makes these things harder right now, but I really want to use some of the ideas in this book once I can.
