    Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
     
     
     
    As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.

    Are you tired of feeling things? Do you want to stop caring about life’s endless nonsense? Congratulations—you’re ready for Stoicism. 
    Life is a relentless parade of disasters, disappointments, and idiots who won’t shut up. And yet, most people spend their days panicking, complaining, and overreacting—wasting precious energy on things they can’t control. A true Stoic? They sip their coffee in complete silence while the world crumbles around them. 
    This book will teach you the fine art of emotional detachment so that nothing—not traffic, not heartbreak, not even the impending collapse of civilization—can shake you. 
    Inside, You’ll Learn: 
    💀 How to wake up every morning knowing that today will be a mess—and being fine with it 
    💀 The “Meh” response system for handling everything from job loss to bad WiFi 
    💀 Why material things are pointless (but also, let’s be real, heated car seats are amazing) 
    💀 How to pretend to listen while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome 
    💀 How to master the blank, expressionless stare that makes people deeply uncomfortable 
    💀 Why billionaires would be happier living in a cave (but you still need rent money, so don’t do that) 
    💀 The nightly ritual of contemplating death so you can sleep like a sociopath 
    This is not a self-help book. This is a self-detachment book. If you’re ready to become an unshakable force of calm indifference, to stop letting life stress you out, and to fully embrace the Stoic art of not giving a single damn, this is the book for you. 
    ☠️ WARNING: Reading this book may cause: 
    ✔️ A total loss of interest in pointless drama 
    ✔️ An inability to react to nonsense, even when expected to 
    ✔️ People wondering if you’re deeply enlightened or just emotionally broken
