Today, KALW’s Angie Coiro brings us a new episode of Book It, with her guest, Jessica Carew Kraft. Jessica lived a common Silicon Valley life: indoors, tech-focused, in service of power to the detriment of her family time. She turned that all away to examine life in keeping with nature: eating what the day provided – including road-kill - and building what she needed for a non-urban life.
In her book, Why We Need To Be Wild: One Woman’s Quest For Ancient Human Answers to 21st-Century Questions, she warns that, if you want to follow that path, don’t expect to do it overnight.
A note: This conversation makes a brief reference to suicide. If you or someone you know may be considering suicide or is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
