How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry's relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealthits abundance of sweet, juicy berriesto meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution insures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE AUTUMN BY \u003ci\u003eTHE NEW YORK TIMES, GUARDIAN, TIME, \u003c\/i\u003eOPRAH DAILY\u003ci\u003e, LIT HUB, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, BOOKPAGE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516104008023,"sku":"9781802067460","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-serviceberry-9781802067460","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
