The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer

emotional informative reflective fast-paced

4.75

In The Serviceberry, Robin Wall Kimmerer succinctly articulates what many feel intuitively without precisely knowing the words. Economies that prioritize personal connection, both with our fellow humans and with the earth itself, are the only sustainable path forward. 

As expected, Kimmerer writes beautifully, delicately weaving her botanical expertise with personal anecdotes.

This is a lovely accessible introduction to the spiritual, interpersonal, and material benefits of gift economies. Long enough to give you something to mull over, short enough to leave you craving more.
