À propos de cet audio

Michael Pollan’s unmatched ability to draw lines of connection between our everyday experiences - whether eating, gardening, or building - and the natural world has been the basis for the popular success of his many works of nonfiction, including the genre-defining best sellers The Botany of Desire, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and In Defense of Food. With this updated edition of his earlier book, A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own—a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” — built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Inspired by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A Place of My Own not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the connections between our bodies, our minds, and the natural world.

I always enjoy Pollan's books. Wasn't sure where we were going to go on this journey. The guy is building what amounts to a shed, a very expensive one to boot. Yet somehow he takes us on this journey of space, of self, of belonging and of discovery. I enjoyed the philosophical tangents and moments of reflection. However, I found it challenging to stay in that frame of mind when I would remember, this guy is building a shed but writing like he's building a village. It made for interesting juxtaposition.

Happy listening!

Dude you are building a shed!

Best I’ve heard on this app so far, both in content and delivery. Glad to have heard it as that seems to be even better than if I had read it. Michael Pollan has a hypnotic way of speaking his own words that makes this a perfect book for passing the time while working on my own projects. 6/5 stars without a doubt.

Fantastic
