Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist and Other Essays by Paul Kingsnorth

3.0

Still pondering what I think about this. A lot of it sounds like it coming from a place of privilege but I guess that's also the audience of this book. Some of this book made me feel guilty for the way I live and made me question some of my beliefs which is a good sign. But I also don't think I completely agree with his viewpoint of retreating away, maybe it because I'm young? I get that humans are just one tiny facet of nature and then end of our ability to live on earth is just like the end of all the other animals who have been wiped out during mass extinctions but it still hard to grapple with due to my innate ego???? Yeah not too sure need to keep having a think. Some his essays weren't the ones while others were pretty thought provoking which is all one really wants innit.
