About this listen
How did our relationship with nature become broken, why does it matter, and how can we fix it? From a past in which we were embedded in the natural world, revolutions in farming, science, and industry have seen the human bond with nature eroded, with the promise of prosperity offering happiness and meaning in life. This mindset may have delivered comfortable living for many, but there is growing recognition that the root cause of wildlife loss and the warming climate is people’s disconnection from nature, which is also an important factor in our mental health. Yet solutions focus on technical fixes to treat the symptoms of that damaged relationship, such as reducing carbon emissions and increasing habitat. What we urgently need is a whole new way of thinking.
Reconnection explores our hidden links with nature through the science of nature connectedness, setting out a way to revivify the relationship across society. Here is a route to a meaningful life that unites both human and nature’s wellbeing for a truly sustainable future. What's more, everybody has a role to play. From business leaders to conservationists, teachers to medics, from drivers to walkers, we can all reduce the damage we do and find new ways to bring nature into our lives. This timely book considers the problems scientifically, then offers simple, practical, positive steps for how we can all work towards a better world.

Not the most compelling writing on the subject
I liked the introduction so I bought it are listening to a sample, but the majority of the writing feels really dry, and the content feels like a combination of some of the authors blog articles chained together. The book seems a bit incoherently in its quality and pacing (got the written by AI vibe). I’m a bit disappointed as I am really interested in the subject of nature connectedness and in fact enjoyed reading the author’s academic papers and is a loyal follower of his blog.
