The Serviceberry

If the birds, butterflies, and trees were to teach an MBA program, this would be the textbook. It is a stroke of brilliance penned by a botanist and the author who brought us Braiding Sweetgrass. Robin Wall Kimmerer gently reminds us, using the natural world as her classroom, that it is time to stop and reassess how our economy has been focusing on sacrificing our planet for short-term gains. A sweet reminder that what brings us true security is the quality of our relationships with each other and the natural world. What if our economy were based on gratitude and reciprocity instead of scarcity?
