Why read it?

2 authors picked The Serviceberry as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book changed my worldview.

Even as someone who thinks deeply about (reimagining) the economy, I hadn’t fully conceptualized how different it could be – and how different it in fact has been, and continues to be for many people around the world when it is rooted in principles of abundance, care, and the sacred.

And Robin manages to make the book’s message and impact so profound, while still weaving her magic of writing that is accessible, deeply human, and beautiful.

A wonderful little book which imagines a kinder, sharing world where everybody has enough to eat and nature is respected and cherished.
