I enjoyed many of the ideas and concepts in this book. That said, I didn't find it an easy read. I found much of it disjointed and difficult to focus on the core points. I did enjoy the extensive use of examples from nature to illustrate points, although some don't stand up to too much scrutiny. My key takeaway was the analogy or natural systems... A bee can't be a bee without flowers, trees, fungi and birds... Successful movements also need to strengthen connections between diverse people and communities, even/especially those who we may disagree with.
