Kinship Medicine by Wendy Johnson is an insightful book that explores the link between human health and the environment. The author combines ancient wisdom with modern science to show how our well-being is connected to the health of the planet. The book highlights the damage we've done to the environment and stresses the need to reconnect with nature. While some parts are tough to read due to the harsh truths, the book offers important and enlightening insights. As someone in healthcare, I found it a useful reminder of our connection to the natural world. I received this book for my review, and its message has stayed with me.

Kinship Medicine is a well researched book and very important, but I struggled with it. I think it will be popular with certain groups and students but I felt it was too much for me. I am a solitary person and enjoy being on my own so kinship and community don’t really resonate with me.
Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

This is a beautifully written, well researched book that I learned a lot from. It is an important read, though it can be a hard one to read at times because our country has done so much irreversible damage to the environment, the people and animals whose land we stole, and pretty much everything and everyone.

‘Rekindling our relationships to non-human life is essential to our well-being‘

This book needs to be required reading, no excuses. I work in healthcare and it’s a great reminder and resource of how far removed we as humans are from our innate selves.
