Soil & Spirit: Seeds of Purpose, Nature’s Insight & the Deep Work of Transformational Change Kindle Edition

Monumental challenges threaten the sixth mass extinction on planet Earth. From increasing rates of infertility and chronic disease to soil degradation and climate collapse, reviving civilization requires changemakers to step forward and lead with their own unique genius.

In Soil & Spirit, Ian C. Williams presents a simple solution: self-actualization. Solutions at scale begin with individuals organizing themselves. Ian guides the reader through that process via four primary landscapes: internal, social, external, and spiritual. These landscapes chart the path from personal to planetary transformation. Soil & Spirit is not only a message but a methodology for designing resilient landscapes, both inside and out.

Creating a regenerative future means committing to self-cultivation. Once you learn to navigate the four primary landscapes and awaken to your life’s core purpose, you become a catalyst for true cultural transformation.

The layout of this book is direct, yet easy to follow. It has been a book that stays on the shelf for me to refer to time and again. The beautiful and poetic writing adds an emotional layer. I often pause and put the book down to reflect in the moment. It is an excellent guide for anyone interested in self discovery and finding your purpose with concrete steps to take on this path. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Relevant and Inspiring Perspective

A thought provoking, relevant book for our time right now. Ian Williams passionately addresses the very immediate and serious concerns of our world existence while nurturing us with hope, kindness and inspiration. Ian lays out a vision and a plan of what we can do as individuals that lead to bettering ourselves and our world, all conveyed through lovely writing and how we as humans are inextricably linked with the natural world. I would like to see Soil & Spirit, Seeds of Purpose, Nature’s Insight & the Deep Work of Transformational Change as required reading in higher education. Question is under which studies, Science, Spirituality, Ethics, Culture, English, Future of Humankind? Recommended by Forbes, Soil & Spirit, Seeds of Purpose, Nature’s Insight & the Deep Work of Transformational Change is one of 3 important "Books To Inspire Leaders To Create Change".

This is a well written, thought provocative book. This book is about being a part of the solution instead of being part of the problem. It’s about helping each of us figuring out how to be our best self and how collectively the world will benefit when we do.
It is recommended by Forbes Magazine this year as one of three books to “Inspire Leaders to Create Change.”
