To truly grasp the wisdom of a tree, you need to begin thinking like one... One day, on a whim, Robert Moor set out to climb a tree near his home-unwittingly embarking on what would become a decade-long, globe-spanning adventure of intellectual and spiritual transformation. Pursuing the hidden wisdom of trees, he scales to the very top of a giant sequoia while filming a nature documentary with David Attenborough; he treks through swamps in Papua to reach a treehouse-dwelling tribe of hunter-gatherers; and he journeys to a remote research camp in Tanzania, where he spends a memorable night sleeping in a chimpanzee nest, seeking to understand our deep evolutionary history. Eventually, having gained a radical new outlook on both our gnarled past and our ever-branching future, he joins an intrepid clan of climate activists risking everything to halt construction of a new oil pipeline and save an ancient forest. Along the way, Moor learns the art of \"tree-thinking,\" which, he discovers, has the power to break open some of humanity's oldest questions: What is the secret to truly growing old? How do we set down deeper roots in an increasingly chaotic world? Most importantly, how should we-as individuals, as communities, as stewards of the earth-live? A witty and relentlessly curious excursion through philosophy, history, and science, what begins as an ode to the miracle of trees blossoms into a joyous, daring, fiercely hopeful endeavor to arborize humanity\"-- Provided by publisher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Gorgeous, honest, and soulful.\" \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e--Bryan Stevenson, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eJust Mercy \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\"This is the most life-affirming book I've read in a long time.\" --John Vaillant, National Book Award finalist for \u003ci\u003eFire Weather\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrom the acclaimed author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller \u003ci\u003eOn Trails \u003c\/i\u003ecomes a wondrous new journey through the wilds of nature and the gnarls of history, exploring how trees--from the mightiest sequoia to the tiniest bonsai--can teach us to grow wise.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne day, on a whim, Robert Moor set out to climb a tree near his home--unwittingly embarking on what would become a decade-long adventure of intellectual and spiritual transformation. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Pursuing the hidden wisdom of trees, he digs through forgotten archives, scales to the top of a giant sequoia with Sir David Attenborough, trudges through swamps in Papua to reach a treehouse-dwelling tribe of hunter-gatherers, and travels to a remote research camp in Tanzania, where he spends one very uncomfortable night sleeping in a chimpanzee nest.
