Books

What’s been recommended:

The Way of Transition, William Bridges

I’m reading:

This I Believe, Slow Money, Entanglement, Being Evolution and Immortality, Sacred Commerce, The Necessary Revolution, Deep Survival, The Philosophy of Love, Ants Galileo and Gandhi, Presence, The Builders of the Dawn

I finished Seeing Systems, which is hokey but has important ideas explained in laymen’s terms

I and Thou, by Martin Buber, really fucking good philosophy of presence, if you can get through it, really good.

I’m reading Willing to Learn by MC Bateman who is actually Margaret Mead’s daughter. Some essays I find myself saying yes to out loud while I’m reading, other essays I’m falling asleep. I’d say its a great read if you enjoy a theoretical discussion of anthropology, through an applied anthropologist’s lens, which may seem contradictory, but, that’s what it feels like.

old Edible San Diegos

Jambalaya

The omnivore’s dilemma (okay, I’ve been reading it for 6 months, I mostly finished it, put it down, and haven’t picked it up again. I’ve read like 78% of it, you can tell I feel guilty about it)

The Essential Rumi

The Sufi Book of Life

read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, highly amusing

need to read: Forest Visons, Straight with the Medicine, Long Life Honey In Heart, The Power of Humility (again, it’s excellent).
