“This is not an ordinary book: it’s more like a new pair of glasses, allowing you to see everything around you with greater clarity. Suddenly the world is more comprehensible, more manageable, even more beautiful. You won’t want to take them off.”—Barbara Kingsolver

“A fresh look from an original mind, a woman who is grappling with real life problems worldwide and who is pragmatic and out-of-the-box in seeing where entry points for change can be made. If this book isn’t inspirational and helpful, then I don’t know what is.”—David Belden, in Tikkun

—Lina Musayev, Co-founder of United Students for Fair Trade

“Displaying her usual laserlike logic, Lappé’s crystalline assessments virtually leap off the page. A source of inspiration.”—Booklist
