It may appeal to spiritual seekers who are disillusioned with traditional religions or New Age gurus because it offers a unique perspective, one based on experience rather than dogma and a celebration of the natural world and our place in it.

Compared to the vast majority of our ancestors we live in an era of unimaginable comfort, yet nations around the world - including the very wealthiest - are suffering mental health crises. Between the fact of our material progress and the fact of our mental problems is an uncomfortable truth: We are not living the way that human beings were designed to live. For 95 per cent of history, humans were hunter gatherers. In our cranium is kit that was formed hundreds of thousands of years ago. Back then we would have met a few hundred people in a life-time; today it's countless thousands. Back then we were only required to care about what directly affected us; now the news plugs our emotions into the agonies of the world. Back then we had a daily practical purpose - to find and feed - now we're endlessly searching for distraction and dopamine hits. Little wonder that so many of us are tired, wired, stressed and depressed. PALEO LIFE shows a different way, guided by the lifestyles of hunter gatherers past and present. It is a programme of . The hugely popular Paleo Diet recognises that our guts weren't made to digest Big Macs and microwave meals. To make our bodies healthier, it rewinds the clock to more digestible foods: plants and simple proteins. PALEO LIFE applies the same principle to our minds, adapting our lifestyle so that it is kinder to our ancient brains. Without instructing readers to go all Flintstones - no-one wants to say goodbye to deodorant or central heating - each chapter takes a major life theme, from friends to food, the seasons to sleep, exploring the hunter gatherer approach, and how that shaped us. Then comes a Paleo Principle to live by, and practical suggestions about how to apply these insights here and now. How can our stone age brains thrive in a super-speed world? PALEO LIFE shows how.

Have you ever wandered why men don't ask for directions? Why we react with anger to infidelity? Why we love music and art? Why war and racism still thrive in our most sophisticated cultures? In this fascinating synthesis of the disciplines of anthropology, psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and biology, William Allman shows us how our minds have evolved in response to challenges faced by our prehistoric ancestors, and reveals how our brains continue to harbor that legacy in the present day. Scientists speculate that many of the problems of modern life -- from obesity to war -- arise because our "Stone Age mind" hasn't caught up with our technologically sophisticated world. But Allman also reveals how morality, rather than being the result of arbitrary convention, is deeply rooted in our need to cooperate, which has been essential to the survival of our species through its evolution.

Matt Graham, star of the Discovery Channel’s Dual Survival and Dude, You’re Screwed, details the physical, mental, and emotional joys and harrowing struggles of his life as a modern-day hunter-gatherer. Early on in his life, Matt craved a return to nature. When he became an adult, he set aside his comfortable urban life and lived entirely off the land to learn from the smallest and grandest of all things. In this riveting narrative that brings together epic adventure and spiritual quest, he shows us what extraordinary things the human body is capable of when pushed to its limits. In Epic Survival, written with Josh Young, coauthor of five New York Times bestsellers, Matt relays captivating stories from his life to show just how terrifying—and gratifying—living off the grid can be. He learns the secrets of the Tarahumara Indians that helped him run the 1,600-mile Pacific Crest Trail in just fifty-eight days and endure temperature swings of 100 degrees. He takes us with him as he treks into the wilderness to live alone for half a year, armed with nothing but a loincloth, a pair of sandals, a stone knife, and chia seeds. He recounts near-death experiences of hiking alone through the snowdrifts at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and tells us about the time he entered a three-day Arabian horse race on foot—and finished third. Above all, Epic Survival is a book about growing closer to the land that nurtures us. No matter how far our modern society takes us from the wilderness, the call remains. Whether you’re an armchair survivalist or have taken the plunge yourself, Matt’s story is both inspiration and invigoration, teaching even the most urbane among us important and breathtaking lessons.
