Braiding Sweetgrass vs Educated

I also loved Braiding Sweetgrass and really want to read the author's other two books, Gathering Moss and The Serviceberry, but haven't been able to yet.

Braiding Sweetgrass is a spectacular book that weaves Native American stories and botany together so beautifully. It felt like a journey to me and changed me fundamentally by the end.

Braiding sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

If you want to have that experience with the natural world we live in today, I’d recommend Braiding Sweetgrass. A very different take on your questions about “what am I meant to do in this life” but I think everyone should read it.

For a really thorough and comprehensive analysis of our modern disconnect from the natural world, I strongly reccomend Robin Wall Kimmerer's Braiding Sweetgrass.

Have you read Educated by Tara Westover, or Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie? Both excellent reads.

Parent context: It’s been in my to-read list for a long time because the cult aspect sounded interesting, so I might go ahead and pick it up! Thank you. Reply: It’s SO good. One of my favorite books.

Educated (nonfiction) ... one can conquer their upbringing / past

I’ve been eyeing Educated for awhile now. Good to see an endorsement for it here! I’m gonna have to take the plunge on it.

maybe try circe or educateed by tara westover hope it helps
