New to the Collapse Book Serialisation? Here's where you can get started
A Table of Contents where you can find the whole book in one spot. The first three chapters are free to everyone
I am currently serializing my next book, chapter by chapter. It’s about how to live fully and beautifully in a collapsing world. You can learn about how and why I’m publishing my book this way here.
As I write each chapter, they will be indexed here.
We kick straight into the book with a deep and nourishing discussion about hope. A lengthy introduction-slash-prologue will come later. Note that some chapters might move about as we progress.

This is a handy spot to keep up with your book serialisation. Thank you Sarah. I am a new subscriber and enjoying the audio option too. The Table of Contents helps. Best wishes, Dianne
Last year at the Christmas dinner table … a relative and partner (they weren’t present) had just built a 6 bedroom 4 bathroom home . No children and a huge income from the mining industry. I got on my high horse “that’s ridiculous and unnecessary”. A young luncher , no relationship to the house builders jumped to their defence saying that they should be able to build whatever they like. I said well of course they can but it’s wasteful to build and maintain something that you have no need for just because you can and therein lies the problem with humanity and all the problems we are facing. He didn’t get it and I was frowned upon for spoiling the conversation. I Don’t know what you are supposed to do in these situations. Should you just leave people in their ignorant bliss? Sit and smile sweetly Won’t be too long and everyone is going to be aware
