It's been quite a number of years since I've read this book. And as for it being one of my all-time favorites, this time I'm taking it quite slow. This is because I'm exploring every place mentioned on the map and looking up almost every unfamiliar (to me) plant and animal talked about. I'm on a wonder-filled, beautiful adventure that is quite calming.

Some chapters take a lot of work to read, but they are worth it. A lot of stuff packed into them; a lot about past philosophers and leaders and their philosophies that have shaped some of the woke views of today.

This book is packed with so much--so much truth, so much research, so much insight, so much past and present philosophy. I'm only in the midst of chapter 2, and am choosing to read it slowly, digest it, and even read each chapter twice before moving on to the next.

I have already discovered in these beginning pages that this is a book in which I will be highlighting passages, using sticky notes of various sizes to add my thoughts and comments, and reading little bits at a time in order to digest it properly.
