informative lighthearted slow-paced
Was an interesting read and I would definitely recommend it to my environmental science-y friends but several chapters I found myself disinterested or struggling to stay focused. at one point Wohlleben makes a point about his work being called to emotional but I think that provides a beauty and adds to the spirituality of being in the forests.

There are section of this book in which I think Wohlleben treads a little further beyond current science than I think is warranted. But I had a similar impression with [b:The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World|28256439|The Hidden Life of Trees What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World|Peter Wohlleben|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1464281905l/28256439._SX50_.jpg|48295241], but pretty much all of that turned out to be well-grounded science. So perhaps my current misgivings will prove unfounded. In any event, I learned some new stuff about trees, which always makes me happy.
