"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
GILBERT
Wake 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 great minds throughout history have.
-
Go
to your edge. Do what scares you and embrace discomfort daily.
-
#Buylesslivemore. Break
the cycle of mindless consumption and get light with your life.
-
Become
a soul nerd. Light up your intellect with the arts.
-
Get
"full-fat spiritual". Have an active practice and use it to change the
world.
-
Practice
wild activism. Through sustained, non-violent protest we can create our
better world.

The time has come to boldly, wildly imagine better. We are
being called upon, individually and as a society, to forge a new path and to
find a new way of living. Will you join the journey?
