We associate trees and woodlands with harmony, health and vitality. And yet so often we struggle to experience these qualities in our everyday lives.

What if we could harness the wisdom of the forest for ourselves?

Think like a Tree: The natural principles guide to life, the first guide of its kind, reveals the underlying principles of nature’s secrets of success one by one. These natural principles evolved over billions of years – they are the rules and patterns that all living things have in common for: finding purpose; growth and success; solving problems; building resilience; creating ideal conditions to thrive; developing positive relationships and leaving a legacy for the future. At its heart is the observation that each one of us, just like each tree in a woodland, is unique and therefore we must navigate our own positive journey through life.

Drawing on woodland examples from around the globe, Think like a Tree shares the amazing abilities of trees, their, evolutionary success stories and their abilities to heal.

Real-world case studies demonstrate how the Think like a Tree principles are being applied right now by people around the world.

Exercises for each of the 42 principles allow readers to put into practice the wisdom shared by the living world in this unique and practical personal development book.

Watch the video where Sarah explains why she wrote Think like a Tree: the natural principles guide to life

"I have really enjoyed reading ‘Think like a tree’ It felt like I was remembering lost human wisdom that had been buried under the clutter of modern life. Sarah brilliantly articulates the simple truths that can be gained by slowing down and observing lessons from nature."
