About this listen

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.

Bold, honest, and I’m afraid Bendell is right.

The truth is not easy to accept, espy when it sucks. Bendell explains why he’s right and helps make it all digestible.

Finally, someone said it!

I don't mean that Jem is the first to say the sky is falling. He isn't. I don't mean that Jem is the first to say we're past the point of safe landing. He's not. This work is the first I have read to explain in modern industrial language how, through modern industrial culture, we broke it. Thanks Jem!

Important

As another viewer has stated, the endnotes seem an unnecessary inclusion for an audiobook, but the message, and Jem’s telling of it, compels the reader to contemplate, and act. Pass this along to anyone you believe may listen.

Right on! Exactly what we need to know.

Extraordinarily sincere account of personal transformation and growth. Superbly inspiring!
Full of examples to help us recover from suicidal materialism.

A must read for anyone looking to make the most of our crumbling world

The author brings his academic credentials and research background to this work, but delivers the material and way that lay people like myself can fully grasp the situation at hand. While the content isn’t what one wants to read for their amusement, it is vitally important that we understand the scope of the predicament we find ourselves in and what possible actions and choices we can make to minimize the pain and suffering that is humanity’s way.
