An awe-inspiring narrative about the power of nature and our place within it, from the creator of My Octopus Teacher, filmmaker Craig Foster
Amphibious Soul is the long-awaited book from naturalist, adventurer, and scientific explorer Craig Foster. This is a raw and personal memoir (told here for the first time), an adventure story, and an inspirational guide on the eight key elements needed to live more wildly. Craigs book is a chance to dive along with him, discover how we can connect with our greatest humanity, and remember our deep connection to the natural world.
As world-renowned naturalist Dr. Jane Goodall says, this book will transform how we think about being human.
This book is the story of finding wildness in a world gone tame, and feeling the hearts of animals beating inside our own. Its about feeling our stone age ancestors shouting across the great divide, pushing us to wake up to who we are. Its about becoming alive in the Great African Seaforest, and learning the oldest language on earth. Its about tracking the greatest masters of camouflage and being invited into their secret realm. This is the amphibious soul. James Cameron
Amphibious Soul is an important book that will transform how we think about being human. Craig Foster's skilled storytelling reminds us that humans are not separate from the incredible, biological intelligence all around us. This book isn't about learning how to be wild but rather a guide to recognizing and reconnecting with the wild in and around us. It is a book that will inspire hope.
