Nature and the Human Soul: Cultivating Wholeness and Community in a Fragmented World Audiobook (Free)

Addressing the pervasive desiring indicating and fulfillment in this time of crisis, Nature and the Human Soul introduces a visionary ecopsychology of human development that shows how fully and creatively we can mature when soul and wild nature lead us. Depth psychologist and wilderness guide Expenses Plotkin presents a model for a human life time rooted in the cycles and qualities of the natural globe, a blueprint for individual development that ultimately yields a strategy for cultural change.

With evocative language and personal stories, including those of elders Thomas Berry and Joanna Macy, this book defines eight stages of human life-Innocent, Explorer, Thespian, Wanderer, Soul Apprentice, Artisan, Master, and Sage-and describes the challenges and great things about each. Plotkin presents a means of progressing from our current egocentric, aggressively competitive, consumer society to an ecocentric, soul-based one which is sustainable, cooperative, and compassionate. At once a primer on human development and a manifesto for modification, Nature as well as the Human Soul styles a template for a far more mature, fulfilling, and purposeful life-and a better world.
