From the New York Times bestselling author of First, We Make the Beast Beautiful
‘A brilliantly raw book that reveals the truth of what really matters’ Fearne Cotton
We live in truly overwhelming times. The climate crisis, the pandemic, AI advances, conspiracy theories, political polarisation…and the rest…have left many of us in a state of ‘spiritual PTSD’, feeling disconnected from one another, from our values, from our joy.
In this radical spiritual guidebook, New York Times -bestselling author Sarah Wilson puts on her backpack and spends three years hiking around the world – in Jordan, Cornwall, the Lake District, the Australian Outback, Japan the Sierra Nevada and beyond – to find a path through it all.
She follows in the footsteps of Nietzsche, Wordsworth and other favourite poets and thinkers, venturing deeper into nature, going to ‘spiritual edges’ and meeting monks, lovers and renegades along the way. And she emerges with a blueprint for living a wilder, more connected life, and one that must just save our precious life on this planet.
‘I began writing “Yes!” in margins, so well does Sarah Wilson articulate the problems of our time. Speaking as someone who has spent much of the past few years despairing about the state of the world, I believe we need more people like her’
‘This practical, actionable, spiritual guidebook proposes a path to joy even amid pandemics, climate change, social injustice, and other profound crises’ -- Spirituality and Health
‘Sarah Wilson is a force of nature – quite literally. She has taken her pain and grief about our sick and troubled world and alchemised it into action, advocacy, adventure, poetry and true love. She’s a great teacher and a great leader, and I admire her with all my soul’ -- Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love
