As seen in USA Today's hottest releases and The Washington Post's 10 New Books Spotlight" Sarah Wilson is a force of nature - quite literally. She has taken her pain and grief about our sick and troubled world and alchemized it into action, advocacy, adventure, poetry, and true love." - ELIZABETH GILBERTWake up and reclaim your one wild and precious life. New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson shows you how in this radical spiritual guidebook, the book we need NOW. Many of us are living with the sense that things are not right with the world and are in a state of spiritual PTSD. We have retreated, morally and psychologically, we are experiencing a crisis of disconnection-from one another, from our true values, from joy, and from life as we feel we are meant to be living it. Sarah Wilson argues that this sense of despair and disconnection is ironically what unites us-that deep down, we are all feeling that same itch for a new way of living. Drawing on science, literature, philosophy and the wisdom of some of the world's leading experts, and her personal journey, Wilson offers a hopeful path forward to the life we love. En route, she shows us how to wake up and reconnect with life using "wild practices" that include Hike. Embrace the "walking cure" as.

LOVE this book!

This book is just beautiful. It spoke to me on so many levels. It hits the spot on why so many of us feel that something in our wold, in our society and in our economy is not right and how we can go about changing things little by little. I have been inspired to change my thinking and I love that Sarah shared some very personal insights. What a beautiful way of connecting with her readers <3

Confronting Read

Sarah always challenges the reader to push beyond themselves, to stretch to look outside the 'industry of self' so we can both become kinder more loving humans plus do some good to help others. Sarah wrote this book over the course of a number of years and numerous hikes. Hiking is Sarah's 'happy place' and each chapter covers one of those hikes as it pertains to the issue she is tackling in the particular chapter. The first part of the book highlights the 'big' issues we have at present around globalism, racism and climate change but also matters closer to home of finding one's 'true north' whatever that looks like for each individual. The second part provides some suggestions for finding answers to these riddles. Sarah has done lots of research, talked too many relevant experts and complete strangers on her travels, all of whom provide insights for her plus she intermingles her own story through it all. It's a dense book with so many good takeaways and I wish there was a 5-10 page summary that helped one keep track of all the nuggets. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to read it again. And I expect a few more times. And take better notes. Sarah writes it in the ways she speaks. It's conversational, challenging and confrontational but with big dobs of kindness and grace. Highly recommended.

It's okay to be alone

Sarah Wilson really touched me with this book. The loneliness we all feel during the pandemic can drag us all down but this book shows how you can take some of those moments and make them fulfilling in a spiritual, inward-directed sense. I highly recommend this book as must pandemic reading.
