“An important book that will transform how we think about being human. … that will inspire
hope.”—Jane Goodall How can we reclaim the soul-deepening wildness that grounds us and
energizes us when so much of the modern world seems designed to tame us? In this thrilling
memoir of a life spent exploring the most incredible places on Earth—from the Great African
Seaforest to the crocodile lairs of the Okavango Delta—Craig Foster reveals how we can attend
to the earthly beauty around us and deepen our love for all living things whether we make our
homes in the country the city or anywhere in between. Foster explores his struggles to remain
present to life when a disconnection from nature and the demands of his professional life begin
to deaden his senses. And his own reliance on nature’s rejuvenating spiritual power is put to
the test when catastrophe strikes close to home. Foster’s lyrical riveting Amphibious Soul
draws on his decades of daily ocean dives wisdom from Indigenous teachers and leading-edge
science. Includes a beautiful four-color tracking journal with Foster's photographs and a QR
code leading to 27 films that captured key moments in the book.
