I thought that writing from the perspective of trees offers a great captivating potential, unfortunately, the book is unnecessarily dry and still focuses in a human-centric way
Second Adventure of Harry Hole. The writing style and while the story is less emotionally developed, the plotline is captivating and truly well-thought-out
I expected the book to glance about collective compassion and it's effect back on self-compassion. Not very exciting. Helpful nonetheless.
with respect to the author sufferings and personal story, I don't feel she shared anything with the reader. Milk & Honey tries to be so generic that anyone can relate to something in it.
very basic, shallow and vague. I don't know if it qualifies to be described as a book where half the pages are drawings.
The ironic medium is a great way to discuss feminism from a new perspective more equipped to be objective.
The recipes in the book are tasty and lovely, but I wouldn't call them authentic, as they are more similar to the idea Yotam Ottolenghi uses of adding mint, coriander and sumac to every recipe to make it middle-eastern.
Brilliant ideas wrapped in an odd fascination with farming, this book is out of date in narrative, but far from it in the ideas it presents
Informative and inclusive, but full of hippie-era concepts. glad to have read it, could've been structured better.
The book does a great job at deconstructing the mental state that prevails since the 70s, one takeaway is how we start to attempt to tackle mental problems in the same way we tackle our economy rather than searching for a reason if discontent.
A bit dry at times, but the information about the biases and problems in the pharmaceutical world is much needed to be shared.
When reading books I care about, I always try to subject them to the critical standards I scrutinise Neo-liberal and ancap ideas to, for this my main gripe with this books stems from two points:
1- The book use of sensationalised wording in some chapters can be self-indulgent at times.
2- The overall focus on examples from the US; while there was an example from Hong Kong protestors, I would have liked to see more resources about other mutual-aid projects in other countries.
Besides this, the book is a my goto book for self-organising without slipping into a charity model. And the pitfalls are detailed with examples that go beyond anecdotal and more into the patterns that they usually fail through.
