Author
Foster, Craig

A passionate love story about nature that inspires readers to reclaim their inner wildness—from the naturalist, filmmaker, creator, and star of the Oscar-winning documentary, My Octopus Teacher.

“Craig Foster’s powerful yet tender voice enchants in this meditation on what lies beneath, unexplored and unseen—both under the ocean’s surface, and within our own human nature. A wondrous, entertaining, and thought-provoking read.”—Shelby Van Pelt, New York Times bestselling author of Remarkably Bright Creatures

“An important book that will transform how we think about being human. . . . It will inspire hope.”—Jane Goodall , PhD, DBE

How can we reclaim the soul-deepening wildness that grounds us and energizes us when so much of the modern world seems designed to tame us?

In this thrilling memoir of a life spent exploring the most incredible places on Earth—from the Great African Seaforest to the crocodile lairs of the Okavango Delta—Craig Foster reveals how we can attend to the earthly beauty around us and deepen our love for all living things, whether we make our homes in the country, the city, or anywhere in between.

Foster explores his struggles to remain present to life when a disconnection from nature and the demands of his professional duties begin to deaden his senses. When catastrophe strikes close to home, his own reliance on nature’s rejuvenating spiritual power is put to the test.

Foster’s lyrical, riveting Amphibious Soul draws on his decades of daily ocean dives, wisdom from Indigenous teachers, and leading-edge science.
