Why read it?

2 authors picked Rewild Yourself as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is one of my favorite joy-spotting books. It’s so engaging and accessible that I’d challenge anyone to read it and not want to try at least one of the activities!

Since reading it the first time, I’ve unearthed my rarely used binoculars (and left their lens caps off), requested an inflatable kayak for my birthday, and now always keep my waterproof trousers by the front door. I’d recommend this to anyone seeking more joy and calm in their life.
