The smudge looked suspicious. The doctor confirmed: "That's the baby's penis!" Joel's reaction? Pure panic. "I pictured having to go camping and fix a car and use a hammer and throw a football and watch professionals throw footballs and figure out whether to be sad or happy about the results of said football throwing." And so begins Joel's quest to confront his effete nature whether he likes it or not (he doesn't), by doing a 24-hour shift with LA firefighters, going hunting, rebuilding a house, and engaging in all sorts of other manly activities.

Growing a perfect moustache, grilling red meat, wooing a woman - who better to deliver this tutelage than the always charming, always manly Nick Offerman, best known as Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson? Combining his trademark comic voice and very real expertise in woodworking - he runs his own woodshop - Paddle Your Own Canoe features tales from Offerman's childhood in small-town Minooka, Illinois, to his theater days in Chicago, beginnings as a carpenter/actor and the hilarious and magnificent seduction of his now-wife Megan Mullally.

What did you love best about Paddle Your Own Canoe?
Nick's view on life I totally resonate with; i.e. his thoughts on plastic surgery, Roundup, building something, and the love of a fantastic woman.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Duh! Nick
Which scene was your favorite?
When he heard form the producer of Parks and Recreation that he landed the part.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
We he stopped caring about acting and was happy with his life.
Any additional comments?
I would love to sit at an old Irish bar (the one with all the incredible woodworking in it) have a scotch and BS with Mr Offerman

Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate. So most of us perform, please, and perfect, all the while thinking, What if I can't keep all of these balls in the air? Why isn't everyone else working harder and living up to my expectations? What will people think if I fail or give up? When can I stop proving myself?

The Nature Principle presents a compelling case that a conscious reconnection to nature can make us whole again and that the future will belong to nature-smart individuals, families, businesses, and communities. Supported by evidence from emerging empirical and theoretical research and eye-opening anecdotes, Louv shows that when we tap into the powers of the natural world we can boost mental acuity and creativity, heal illness, broaden our compassion, and strengthen human bonds.

Revisado: 07-02-14
Where does The Nature Principle rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The top.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mother Nature. She is my favorite character because we all depend on her and if we don't go outside and play with her we will never understand her.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It hits home hard. I need to be the change I want to see in the world.

Trapped in a job he hated and up to his neck in debt, Guy Grieve’s life was going nowhere. But with a stroke of luck, his dream of escaping it all to live in remote Alaska suddenly came true. Miles from the nearest human being and armed with only the most basic equipment, Guy built a log cabin from scratch and began carving a life for himself through fishing, hunting, and diligently avoiding bears. Packed with adventure, humor, and insight, this is the gripping story of an ordinary man learning the ways of the wild.

Any additional comments?
The fact that Guy made a decision for himself with huge consequences is beautiful and challenging. The life circumstance he runs into are heart felt and real. His last chapter paints his journey well and its one of the most powerful parts of his journey.
