We listened to this on audio while we road tripped to a wedding and it was perfect! If you’re a fan of their work, you’ll be a fan on their book.

While this is a small book, it is one to be savored. Every page is jam-packed with mind blowing facts that you need time between each chapter to marinate in all that you’ve just learned.  It felt like reading a David Attenborough documentary in the best way, and it totally turned me into a legit tree hugger.
