I really enjoyed the scientific and philosophical aspects of this book, and the writing itself was often quite beautiful. However, I found some of the specific advice/guidance offered unrealistic at times. It's one thing to encourage that people should be barefoot more often, and even to assert that a certain level of risk with barefoot walking will heighten awareness and connection with surrounding nature. But that applies to, like... stepping on pinecones or dog poop. Not /rattlesnakes/ and literal life threatening situations. 

I was also left with the impression that Haupt probably doesn't personally know any poor people, as a lot of her suggestions (e.g. go camping alone in the woods for a week without a phone) are not possible for a wide host of reasons for lower income folks. There was also a surprising emphasis on individualism when it comes to making change to protect/preserve nature, versus acknowledging climate crisis and ecological disaster as largely caused by corporations and mass-scale environmental disruption.

Overall, though, I did enjoy this and will probably reread it at some point so I can annotate.
