Determined to find a better way, Jessica quit her job and set out to learn about &#8220;rewilding&#8221; from people who reject the comforts and convenience of civilization by using ancient tools and skills to survive. Along the way, she learned how to turn sticks into fire, stones into axes, and bones into tools for harvesting wild food\u2015and found an entire community walking the path back from our technology-focused, anxiety-ridden way of life to a simpler, more human experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weaving deep research and reportage with her own personal journey, Jessica tells the remarkable story of the potential benefits rewilding has for us and our planet, and questions what it truly means to be a human in today&#8217;s world. For readers of A Hunter-Gatherer&#8217;s Guide to the 21st Century and Hunt, Gather, Parent, Why We Need to Be Wild is a thought-provoking, unforgettable narrative that illuminates how we survived in the past, how we live now, and how each of us can choose to thrive in the years ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube
