This was nice to casually listen to in Offerman’s voice—hence 3 stars. For content it’s more like 2. There really isn’t much substance here. I guess it’s nice to know that this celebrated “manly” actor is a staunch feminist and democrat. His diatribe against Brett Kavanaugh is even therapeutic. Really this book is a bunch of musings, as the title suggests. There’s not much of a current here. I’d rather Offerman had taken a very narrow story approach—maybe even an essay format—to allow him to dig deeper into what he’s trying to say about National parks and traveling the US in an airstream during the pandemic and sustainable shepherding in the UK.

3.75 stars. I liked the first and last thirds of this book but the middle third (about working on a family farm in England) was really slow. Offerman’s voice is strong - you feel like he’s talking to you in the same way that Ron from P & R would. In addition to musings about the environment, you get some political viewpoints (quite liberal) and thoughts on capitalism.

I agree with Offerman on many fronts and quite enjoyed his stories. But as a whole they didn’t piece together nicely. The parts felt very separate. I didn’t expect first class literature and therefore am not disappointed. It lived up to the celebrity rant/inside scoop I was looking for.
