- Book Synopsis
-
A thoughtful, illuminating rumination on the life lessons we can take from those who work the land and the millennia of wisdom they draw upon when they go about their day, making a living by turning light and time into money.
As with his previous bestsellers, John Connell skilfully synthesises philosophy, art, literature and spirituality to bolster his thoughts on such topics as stoicism, the food chain and the role of community, leaving the reader convinced of the importance of connecting with their own inner farmer.
Ideal for readers who:
- Are drawn to beautifully written nature writing grounded in hard work, the land and rural community.
- See the practice of farming as a unique lens on stoicism, global food chains, time and practical wisdom.
- Enjoy connecting rural lifestyle themes with classic philosophy, art, literature and deep spirituality.
- Prefer reflective, essay-style books that feel profoundly humane, calming and quietly useful.
