Reader reviews for Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.25 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.25 / 5 (16 total reviews)

Readers largely found the book a useful, practice-oriented guide for activists, blending systems thinking and lessons from nature with concrete prompts and attention to sustainable self-care. Many appreciated its applicability to social-justice organizing and noted its Octavia Butler connections. The main drawbacks cited were a loose, free-form structure and heavy use of quotes and interviews that some felt diluted the core ideas. Overall, it’s recommended chiefly for people engaged in activism.

Readers say this book is:
insightful practical inspiring empowering reflective thought-provoking loose structure quote-heavy niche audience worthwhile

From the publisher

In the tradition of Octavia Butler, radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want.

Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist "spirituality" based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.
