This book explores the hidden rhythms that shape our world, from the cycles of life and the cosmos to the intricate tapestry of our personal and social connections. Discover how the same patterns that govern plate tectonics, evolution, and mass extinctions also underpin the heartbeat of our everyday lives, revealing the hidden links that unite us across time and space.

This is an engaging, easy-to-read, and informative book. It wasn’t clear to me how the book was organized, but it was interesting and made me think.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

As someone who is not into science at all, I found myself enjoying <i>Feedback</i> way more than I expected to. Golledge guides us through this idea of feedback throughout our planet's history and shows how it, combined with luck, led to the perfect conditions for life on Earth. Throughout school, you hear a lot about Goldilocks conditions and how lucky we are for the Earth to be perfectly suited for life, but in this book, we dive deep into the specific things that allow us to be standing here, and Golledge uses incredibly compelling and lyrical language to do it. It took me a bit to finish this book, mostly because I had to keep hyping myself to read it in the beginning, but after a bit, I was drinking the Kool-Aid hahaha. It's really an incredible feat that Golledge was able to make me read an entire book talking about tectonic plates and evolution, and while it certainly wasn't my favorite book ever, I definitely enjoyed it, which is saying a lot. This is a 4.5 star read for me!
