This book was beautiful, inspiring, awe-inducing. It made me want to do and be better.

I liked the second half of this book a lot more than the beginning. I felt like his explanation of scientific research was slightly misconstrued and extrapolated to much.
I’ve read several books about trees but this is by far the best. I learned so much I had no idea about. Definitely recommend!

the audiobook experience with the british narrator is quintessential nature doc, even with it feeling repetitive at times still very engaging
Interesting book. Enjoyed it more than ‘Hidden Life..’.
A fascinating journey into the forest with Wohlleben sharing his knowledge as a forester on the life of trees and how trees and the lack of them impact our lives. I was pleasantly surprised at the animism aspect. Looking forward to reading more of his writings.
The first half of so was pretty good, but it got a little out there.

It took me quite a while to push through to the end of this read. I loved the romanticism of The Hidden Life of Trees and I was expecting something more along those lines from this book. I would place this book on the same shelf as Unstoppable by Bill Nye, very informative but not necessarily an easy read if you tend to stress about the environment. Towards the end, reading it almost felt akin to doom scrolling on the internet but I knew I wanted to finish it.
I appreciated the author's frankness when covering the issues of forestry practices, environmental stewardship, and the long-term effects they could potentially have on future generations. I was surprised to find that even practices generally accepted as climate-friendly aren't always so.The author does include nuggets of hope here and there which lifted the narrative out of the doom scroll zone for me and helped me finish the book
