Arctic Dreams

This book by Barry Lopez was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Tim Ferriss. The people who vouched for it on air: Tim Ferriss. It comes up in conversations about anxiety & stress, consciousness, depression & mood, exercise & strength, productivity & performance. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

This is an account of the author's exploration of the Western Arctic region, between Bering Strait and Davis Strait. It is an account both of the natural history of the Arctic, and equally of how the Arctic grips the human spirit and imagination.\ The chapters are rich in their descriptions of the Arctic -of the physical land itself, the native peoples that the author met, the Arctic animals and plants, both terrestrial and aquatic, the ice and the Arctic light that make the region so distinctly different from the temperate and tropical parts of Earth.

• “Barry Lopez also wrote Arctic Dreams for which he won many many awards. His non-fiction is absolutely incredible”
