The Abundant Community book

*The Abundant Community* by John McKnight and Peter Block emphasizes the importance of strong local networks and relationships for a thriving society. It argues that communities flourish when residents recognize their own assets, skills, and resources, rather than relying solely on government or external aid. By fostering neighbor-to-neighbor connections and encouraging shared responsibility, communities can address social issues more effectively, creating a sense of belonging and mutual support. The book advocates for shifting focus from top-down solutions to empowering individuals and groups to collaboratively build resilient, vibrant neighborhoods.
