As you learn about dozens of trees, from the Acai palm to the Yoshino cherry, you'll find that their means of survival are not so different from ours. The juniper tree proves that it's possible to flourish anywhere as long as we put down strong roots. A mountain hemlock finds strength basking in the sun while a black walnut's sturdiness comes from its thick, steely core. The hawthorn demonstrates resilience as it adapts to strong winds and storms by finding balance in its roots.
Trees have many more lessons to offer, from letting go of the past, to branching out, to resisting the urge to overstretch ourselves. With detailed illustrations and advice for lifelong happiness, How to Be More Tree is an essential companion for all those moments when we're having trouble seeing the forest for the trees.

CUTEST BOOK
This book is honestly a two in one. It teaches you about different trees while also giving you advice and a life lesson in each on of them. Every page is a new tree and a new lesson. Gave me a new perspective on things and I’m learning!
Pass it around
I got this last year as a Christmas present for my wife. She was a bit skeptical at first, but then read through the whole thing in one sitting. She has since loaned it to her father - who also read it through - and recommended it to many of her friends. I too found it enchanting.
Great quick reads
I bought this for fun as a quick read. Turns out this book was a wonderful surprise. Definitely recommend.
NICE

Very insightful
