EVERY BUSINESS AND LIFE COACH SHOULD READ THIS

I think this book is for anyone that has an inkling that nature is part of our healing and pathway to a better way to be in this life. Learning from trees and nature is a highly practical and realistic way to observe and understand life right now. I think anyone reading this will gain a better understanding of themselves and our place in this world. Highly practical and informing, this book would also enhance the learnings of any life coaching or business coach experience that wants to work within nature.

What a valuable resource

This book is a collection of information, stories and also guidance notes on life transformation, based on the principles of observing trees.

You may be misled into thinking what kind of Pagan or Hippy tree loving adventure this may take you on, when actually the book is based on very sound ground, especially observation of how tree's behave and react to the surrounding world and environment.

This book also provides a number of exercises which you can complete without the need for expensive investment.

The idea, from my perspective is about personal understanding, respect and growth. The concept of building a solid foundation.

A really great listen, from Sarah herself. This is someone who has had hardship and challenges, collected the findings and then collated them into a single resource for others to benefit.

Absolutely worth a listen, there will be something for everyone depending on the situation they find themselves in today.

Rich and inspiring, but easy listening

I enjoyed this as my first audiobook, I listened at 1.35x speed as that suited me and it was easy listening for car journeys with the kids, although there are certainly bits I want to delve into more deeply and ponder on so I'm glad I have the paper copy too. The helpful and frequent chapter and header lists are very useful for revisiting sections that you want to hear again. The book itself is so rich, full of facts, inspiring quotes and case studies, links to scientific research as well as anecdotes and suggestions. Even my children were picking up on parts and saying, 'Wow, that's so interesting!' I was very inspired to apply the thinking to many parts of my life, it's very multi faceted and broad in its potential application and I loved that. I can't wait to read it again!

A cleverly packaged guide to life

Having read about permaculture over the last few years I was drawn to this book given its affinity to nature.

The author has done a great job setting out useful topics and sharing her experiences in an enjoyable to listen audiobook.

I particularly recommend this book to anyone interested in personal development and building resilience.

Practical, thought provoking book.

I loved this book. Unlike many self help books, this contains exercises to do which take you out into the real world and practice ways of improving your approach by using the principles contained in the book. Like many audio books, not perhaps as useful for flicking backwards and forwards as a paperback, but the sections are all clearly headed and the recaps very useful, so its not as daunting as many other audio books I have listened to. I found the delivery a little slow, but worked very well for me at 1.25 speed. The wonderful thing about this book is that it can spin you off into so many other things - visiting woodlands, working outdoors, looking at what and how you eat and advice and help to make small changes to your life that cumulatively will make a big impact. I still don't quite understand what permaculture is though! More please, Sarah.

indepth and highly practical

I loved this book it was full of useful information

I have been exposed to many of the ideas and principles as a student of permaculture but Sarah makes them tangible and approachable.
I really enjoyed this book and will definitely get the hardcopy to highlight and work through.
This is a great succinct guide for anyone looking for flow and purpose and to feel more at home with the world and their relationships.
I feel like I have new tools with which to tackle my projects and permission to take things slow and forgive my failings like the majestic Oak.
Many thanks for writing this and I hope many people have the gift of integrating it into their lives.

Interesting to listen to.

A really good listen. Lots of material covered in a way easy to understand and apply to our own lives. Some interesting concepts. I found this really useful on long journeys, the pace of the narrator is ideal when I travel. At home I found the pace a little slower than I wanted, but that is me being impatient.

Highly recommended and good value.
