both books I read in book clubs this year that have definitely set me on a new trajectory in life. the only real common theme between them (one is about Marx’s unpublished ecological/economic work and one is about Mazlow’s unpublished expanded humanist psychology) is the theme of agency in service of communion.
individuals should strive to meet their needs and be their best/truest selves, but this also naturally allows them to aid others in meeting their needs and being their best/truest selves. this concept has been huge for me lately and I have these books to thank for that!
