Taught me some good things about trees, but was a little too straight-forward and sciencey for me. From the description, I was expecting a little more philosophy or interpret look at trees/nature. There's really none of that. Pretty good, though! Learned about old-growth forests and what trees can actually feel. Changed my perspective on a lot of things.
Peter Wohlleben really likes trees. He shares this interest in a really lovely, down to earth style that's easy for even non science lovers to follow. I found this a very compelling read, even as someone who is absolutely terrible at all things science. Wohlleben does a great job at simplifying the concepts for the average person. Not sure how much I retained long term, but I'm glad I read this and I'll probably try more of his books.
If you like trees or just want to learn a little more about them, give this a go.

Meandering, didn't particularly learn many new things so the book felt more meditative than informative. Was interested in learning more about trees and I do not feel like I learned more about trees.
