Challenging the seductive myth of nature's goodness.

This book provides a thought-provoking perspective on our society's obsession with living "naturally." Through a blend of scientific research and cultural analysis, Alan Levinovitz challenges the popular belief that nature holds all the answers to leading a fulfilling life. With a mix of wit and intellect, this book encourages readers to question the consequences of blindly following the idea of a pristine, untouched natural world. A must-read for those seeking a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between humans and nature.

Description

Without our realising it, a single, slippery concept has become a secular deity throughout the modern industrial world. We make terrible sacrifices in its name: of our money, our health, and our planet. That deity is nature itself.From supermarket shoppers to evolutionary biologists, from atheists to pastors, from Alex Jones to Gwyneth Paltrow, we are all prone to the intuitive faith that life should be lived 'naturally'.But nature can't teach us how to live. If we try to stick to its imagined commands, eschewing human artifice in pursuit of Edenic purity, we jeopardise the environment, our health, and our society. (We also waste a lot of money on pots of weird slime). It is time to accept our profound responsibility to shape the world of which our technology and our selves are wholly a part.
