Kim Hudson provides a well-researched and compassionate approach to bridging the worlds of linear and circular thinking. She reveals a core pattern to the inner workings of linear and circular thinking, which holds the key to crossing the distance between them. With this framework we can expand our leadership potential, bring indigenous wisdoms into modern practice, support the co-existence of masculine and feminine perspectives, transform our societal and organizational approaches to issues like climate change, and more! Backed up by scientific research, and drawing on her experience as an exploration geologist, First Nation consultant, archetypal story analyst, and federal land claims negotiator, Hudson offers a book that is as intriguing as it is practical. A big part of my leadership is to stay engaged in difficult conversations. We need to see the value in that relationship. The Bridge gives us a powerful framework for exploring a tough issue and discovering something good on the other side. Grand Chief Peter Johnston Council of Yukon First Nations Reading this thoughtful and courageous book feels like opening a gift from Kim Hudson. It is rich with insight, science, stories, and personal reflection, making it highly engaging, readable and provocative. Kim's personal stories allow us to reach into our own. It is the right book at the right time: opening our imagination to new ways forward. Dr. Brenda Morrison (PhD) SFU Centre for Restorative Justice With warmth and wit, Hudson draws on memorable stories that provide a well-researched, compassionate, and novel approach to humanity's crossed wires. The Bridge is an important book for everyone committed to sustainability, Reconciliation, and inclusion. It should be required reading for board directors, activists, educators, and bureaucrats in these complex times. Catherine Warren, Community & Economic Development Leader
