A New Path: To Transcend the Great Forgetting Through Incorporating Ancestral Practices into Contemporary Living
Author Arthur Haines is a forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher. He’s very well spoken and has tons of practical experience in foraging, wildcrafting medicine, and primitive living skills. His new book, “A New Path,” is an epic tome that delves into the contemporary life-way of humans in an attempt to reinstate our biological norms.
The book presents the forgotten species’ norms of Homo sapiens and, by combining historical observations of hunter-gatherers with modern evidence-based research, A New Path tackles the mythology of improving life through technology and provides guidance on many important aspects of human health, including diet, water, medicine, awareness, nature immersion, movement, hormesis, community, and ancestral technologies. It then provides guidance on many important aspects of human health, including diet, water, medicine, awareness, nature immersion, movement, hormesis, community, and ancestral technologies.
It’s a very enlightening read and a valuable addition to my library.
