Who Do We Choose to Be?: Facing Reality, Claiming Leadership, Restoring Sanity by Margaret J. Wheatley

4.0

This book is going to be too bleak and too dry for many people. As a coach, I'm glad to have it in my toolkit, because Wheatley does a great job making sense of the current state of the world through a variety of scientific lenses. She makes the case that we're experiencing the decline of our civilization, and that while the chaos we're experiencing is new to us, it's part of a much longer and larger pattern. She doesn't try to paint with a hopeful brush - instead she argues that we should each do as much as we can, with what we have, with the people around us to impact our communities and networks for the better. Lots to chew on in here.
