Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

emotional informative inspiring reflective

4.5

Listened to as an audiobook. The first maybe 60-70% of this was hands-down a 5 star read; the anecdotes, emotions, and scientific content were well balanced, and while there were calls to actions, they weren't overly aggressive while still being passionate. The chapter where Robin took her students hiking and they started singing Amazing Grace hit me straight in the feels and made me wanna cry because I realized I missed hiking and being in nature a lot. Unfortunately, shortly after that, the book became a grind to get through as Robin Kimmerer went full blast reiteration of points and intense call to action. I also was just very tired as I was listening to it so it may have been entirely my problem so take this with a grain of salt.
