Summary
The collapse of modern societies has begun. That is the conclusion of two years of research by the interdisciplinary team behind Breaking Together.
How did it come to this? Because monetary systems caused us to harm each other and nature to such an extent it broke the foundations of our societies. So what should we do? This audiobook describes people allowing the full pain of our predicament to liberate them into living more courageously and creatively. They demonstrate we can be breaking together, not apart, in this era of collapse.
Jem Bendell argues that reclaiming our freedoms is essential to soften the fall and regenerate the natural world. Escaping the efforts of panicking elites, we can advance an ecolibertarian agenda for both politics and practical action in a broken world.

Wow
Be warned, due to the nature of this book, it is very heavy and will likely change a lot for you, but if you’re ready to explore the theme of collapse or what ‘sustainability’ should mean given today’s circumstances, this book is incredibly holistic and well researched. It ties together so many different areas of information in a way I have never seen done before and gives practical ways of dealing with our predicament

Highly recommend. Content gives superb value
A vast amount of high quality research and experience has gone into this book, and it provides a rich well of food for thought for anyone wanting to know more and/or adapt to the obvious collapse of multiple systems of modern society we are currently going through.
Narration is superb, and the index is very good, allowing you to easily find areas of particular interest.

Truth
Brilliant, essential, inspiring & life-affirming! That's what the truth - so rare - can do. An extremely clearly argued explanation of our human predicament. A very high quality piece of agonising scholarship, from an author (and team of researchers) with very broad and highly relevant 'generalist' as well as specialist overview. Anyone who disagrees with the conclusions within this book needs to explain equally clearly why and how and show their workings. This is a wake up call sadly too late to prevent the collapse of societies and mass extinction of species (etc), but it does point to a positive way of being a human throughout what remains. Well narrated too. I thank the author and all involved from my heart.

What good can come from understanding Collapse?
A humanity focused response to understanding climate change, with no holds barred chapters. Kind, and kindly words.

Read / listen to this book
Honest and informative, this is a guide to our collective predicament and how we can meet it together. Neither sugar coated nor defeatist, but a dose of reality to reorganise around, for those who care about our environment and our future well being.

bleak but brilliant
This is one you need to stick with till the not so bitter end or it could be just overwhelming and a bit traumatic. There is so much in here both thought provoking and informative. Extremely well thought out and a good balance of pragmatism and philosophy as well as hard facts. If you have a grave sense of foreboding about the future, perhaps like me you'll continue to but you may also feel validated and somewhat reassured. I will leave it there and go cultivate my garden. Thanks Jem, this must have been much harder to write than read/listen to 🙏

Essential reading
Refreshing to read some real critical thinking, discussion of the different kinds of denial going on in some strands of environmentalism and well researched.
