Story
In his long-awaited book, Rewilding, Kripalu director Micah Mortali brings together yoga, mindfulness, wilderness training, and ancestral skills to create a unique guide for reigniting your primal energy - your undomesticated true self - and deepening your connection with the living earth. For hundreds of thousands of years, humans lived intimately with the earth. We were in the wild and of the wild. Today, we live mostly urban lives - and our vital wildness has gone dormant.

This book lost me after a couple chapters. A lengthy book cycling around one repetitive point that doesn’t extend much past the writers personal experience of hiking and doing yoga in the woods. He fills each chapter with slightly altering, mostly elementary adjectives that paint a picture of basic experiences designed to capture the novice wannabes who desire to, but have never been in nature. For someone encouraging the reader to get back in touch, the writer is wildly out of touch for how one might go about that. Claiming someone almost fell over after walking barefoot for the first time in 15 years (because he was never barefoot in his home??), that deer seemed to be teleported to him while meditating in the woods, and that his 6-year-old daughter asked him to start a fire and build a “debris” shelter (apparently she’s well versed in common bushcraft shelter types), seems preposterous and embellished. I’m not buying it: the book or the BS. On the right track for a concept, it just didn’t hit the mark.

Story
After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of 15, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when his children were young - particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one's own.

Worth the read not sure it’s worth a listen.

The overall information in this book was worth the listen. However, the unusually raspy intensity in which it was narrated was almost too distracting to hear the content.

Story
James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.
