Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World Is More Than Human by Erik Jampa Andersson

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

This one is tough to review. The first half is really good, going into detail about how we have become so anthropocentric that we can't recognize ourselves as a part of nature. The second half suggests ideas out of Eastern religion and philosophy, and then uses JRR Tolkien as a way to reconnect us to a modern mythology where humans are not the center of it all, and it's hard. It's really really hard. I still recommend the book but be ready to set aside a lot of our hardwired science, logic, and reason.
