Did not finish book. Stopped at 1%.
I just couldn't get past the writing -- even for something light and easy, it just wasn't good. Had to put it down.

I absolutely loved this book. It was inspiring and hopeful about possible change while also being very concrete about actual TJ practices and what that has looked like in different places. It makes me feel more confident that I could grow the tools to apply this in my life and communities and use this as a guide. Everyone should get a copy of this book.
