Connected Wisdom
At the end of the book there are three appendices as a synthetic wrap-up, tying together the different concepts exposed through the book and providing extensive references to other books and resources. I specially enjoyed the tales, since they are easy to remember and make some difficult or counter-intuitive ideas easier to get.

These perfectly enhance the organization of the book, neatly divided into twelve natural laws of living systems.
Connected Wisdom: Living Stories about Living Systems by Linda Booth Sweeney
Each chapter is then complemented with a flawlessly rewritten folk tale from around the world, which illustrates through story the principles in each law. Let us use Chapter 4 — Cooperation and Partnership — as an example. The popular folk tale, Stone Soup , is used to illustrate how a village keeps from starving, indeed feasts on a sumptuous stew, when everyone adds a little of what they have to the pot with a stone in it. We often think of love as romance with hearts and flowers, but in truth, as love matures, it has many levels and aspects and all make for a stronger living system, whether in our homes, our workplaces, our communities, or the world.
This month, consider all the ways that you reach out in love, and consider also how this strengthens the living systems in which you operate.
Do you see how the two are connected, and that the important natural law of cooperation and partnership is really rooted in that fundamental emotion — love?
