Letters to My Grandchildren
Letters to My Grandchildren | David Suzuki
2 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
In this inspiring series of letters to his grandchildren, David Suzuki offers grandfatherly advice mixed with stories from his own remarkable life and explores what makes life meaningful. He challenges his grandchildren and us to do everything at full tilt. He explains why sports, fishing, feminism, and failure are important; why it is dangerous to deny our biological nature; and why First Nations must lead a revolution. Drawing on his own experiences and the wisdom he has gained over his long life, he decries the lack of elders and grandparents in the lives of many people, especially immigrants, and champions the importance of heroes. And he even has something to say about fashion. The book also provides an intimate look at Suzukis life as a father and grandfather with letters that are chock-full of anecdotes about his children and grandchildren when they were small. As he ponders lifes deepest questions and offers up a lifetime of wisdom, Suzuki inspires us all to live with courage, conviction, and passion.

Suzuki has such love for his family and our planet, and the interconnectedness of both. He makes a brief but interesting point about eco psychology, and how important regular daily connection with natural, outdoor spaces are for our mental health, and that the interconnectedness valued by some Indigenous groups belies the 'logic' of our planet as a resource to be plundered. Preach. #nonfiction love #somethingforseptember #septphotochallenge
