Summary of Scott D. Sampson's How To Raise A Wild Child

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We have a strange relationship with nature. We seek it out to stroll, run, swim, commune, and socialize in. We also kill it for sport and place it in cages for our amusement. We literally chew up and swallow large amounts of nature daily to fuel our bodily selves. #2 The idyllic nature outing is not as idyllic when you consider the threats that exist outside of your bubble.
Imagine hiking the hills near your home if there were a chance of running into a grizzly bear, or wolves. #3 Humans have eliminated most of the large animals from the world, and today, we live in a world where nature is mostly made up of raw materials. But a growing movement seeks to reinstate the fear factor that is part of our wild heritage. #4 We are deeply connected with nature, and we fail to realize this connection.
We exist only as flow-through beings, constantly consuming and evacuating nature in order to maintain our physical selves.
