Weathering: Earth wisdom for hopeful living
Brought to you by Penguin.
Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet - gradually eroding, dissolving, recycling, shifting, solidifying, and weathering. We might spend a little less time on earth, but humans are also evolving and changing as we're transformed by the shifting climates of our lives and experiences. So, what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience and change?
In a stunning exploration of our own connection to these enduring forms, outdoor psychotherapist and geologist Ruth Allen takes us on a journey through deep time and ancient landscapes, showing how geology - which has formed the bedrock of her own adult life and approach to therapy - can offer us a new way of thinking about our own grief, change and boundaries.
In a world shaken by physical, political, and medical disasters, Weathering argues for a deeper understanding of the ground beneath our feet to better serve ourselves and the world we live in.

Our lives revolved around our children. Those years seemed to pass in a blur. Once they had left home I filled my time with my hobbies, regular trips to the gym and regular Wine Club meetings with female friends and neighbours.
After my divorce, I began an exciting new adventure, which is still unfolding...
The inspiration for my debut novel came from the many hours I spent listening to my friends talk about their lives, loves and in some cases the lies they told to keep their fragile marriages together.
