One doesn’t need to be a farmer to understand the land philosophy, one just needs to be a human being. And so, from the high-rise tower blocks of Tokyo to the bustling streets of New York, we can all be our own personal farmers, and we can all learn how to put the land philosophy into our lives.

A thoughtful, illuminating rumination on the life lessons we can take from those who work the land and the millennia of wisdom they draw upon when they go about their day, 'making a living by turning light and time into money'.

As with his previous bestsellers, John Connell skilfully synthesises philosophy, art, literature and spirituality to bolster his thoughts on such topics as stoicism, the food chain and the role of community, leaving the reader convinced of the importance of connecting with their own inner farmer.
