This was a helpful and hopeful perspective that I think I really needed to hear at this time. I would recommend this to anyone whose hope is sometimes waning as we ruminate on how much work there is to be done to help our world. I really appreciated Katakam's voice and will seek out more of their writing!

Overall, I thought this was a well written, well researched, and well-planned book. The preface and first/second chapter felt a bit slow with grander, less detailed language but as the book moved forward into chapter three and beyond, we begin to get into the details of our economic structure, government failure and unfair policies, and then even beyond that into how to identify these issues and how we can shift our consciousness into action.
I do like that when various concepts are introduced, there is a succinct explanation either as a footnote or elsewhere in the paragraph. I think once the author really dives into the issues plaguing our generation and our governments, he excels. I also like that the author utilizes the Covid-19 pandemic as a moment in time to explain why so much inequality and generational shifts are in spotlight and how that acted as a springboard for many folks. He also does not downplay the issues we currently face from economic struggles to climate disaster, but does place them all in a context where these problems seem solvable and not so large that it's beyond the scope of people or societies to fix. Overall, really interesting and I like the focus on solutions instead of just raving about all the massive problems facing the globe today. There were some formatting issues with the download which did make it frustrating to read as a download, but overall, I think once you get into ch.3 and beyond, it is well worth it.
