A note before you purchase your book
Now more than ever, it’s essential to put our hard-earned money into the hands of everyday people working to create change. Supporting indie bookstores over corporate giants is one of the most powerful ways to do just that!
Btw, you can order my book, Build It and They Will Come: A Guide to Architecting Intentional Community at indie bookstores (my preference) or at major retailers like Barnes and Noble today :)
