Where I heard about it

  • A colleague — recommended it during a work conversation, December 2021.

Connections

  • How to Change Your Mind — also recommended that day; companion nature/consciousness read about humans’ relationship to the non-human world.
  • Recommended in a December 2021 work call (private meeting note in the wiki).
