Author Description

<p>Is wonder really a survival skill?<br> <br> Between the urgency of the problems facing our planet and the chaos of our own busy lives, it might seem naïve to place 'cultivate wonder' at the top of a list of priorities. Yet that is exactly what the authors in this collection suggest: that wonder is necessary -- and in fact, it might just be what saves us.<br> <br> This insightful collection of essays remind us of the things that really matter, building inner reserves and rekindling a sense of intimacy with the earth. The essays are testaments to the power of beauty and the importance of humility -- and a deep belief, even amid darkness and uncertainty, in wonder's essential role in our lives.</p>
