Jessica Carew Kraft’s Why We Need to Be Wild is an inspiring and thought-provoking work that blends personal narrative, immersive journalism, and anthropology to advocate for a return to our primal roots. With a successful tech career and a modern urban life, Kraft felt increasingly disconnected and yearned for a more authentic way of being. She sets out on a transformative journey, learning skills like fire-making and foraging from rewilding communities who embrace Paleolithic wisdom, ultimately finding deeper truths about human nature and resilience.

Kraft’s writing is compelling, pulling readers into her experiences as she questions the price of civilization’s comforts. She challenges our assumptions about progress, suggesting that reclaiming lost ancestral practices might not only be vital for personal health but could also help address larger ecological and societal crises.
