Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 The billboards I saw upon arriving in Kalispell, Montana, were advertising Jesus Christ. I thought it was strange, as billboards are normally used for advertising. I didn’t feel welcomed at all.#2 I set out to write a book about humans and their relationship with the natural world, but I was shocked by the billboards I saw on my trip to Montana. I knew that our country’s complicated and loaded history with Christianity would play a role in the conversation, but I hadn’t expected it to be so blatant.#3 I wanted to go for a long walk in the woods, away from the various channels of distraction that increasingly rule my daily life. I met up with Jeff Tweedy, the singer-songwriter and front man for the American rock band Wilco, and George Saunders, the devilishly handsome American writer.#4 I took the idea of going on a walk with my brother Jeff to Montana tent store. I wanted to immerse myself in one of the country’s most magnificent parks, far from the entangling web of my responsibilities in Los Angeles and the various channels of communication and distraction that populate those responsibilities.
