Born to Be Wild in Diablo Magazine

“Anyone who has found themselves longing for more meaning in life will want to check out Jessica Carew Kraft’s new book. In Why We Need to Be Wild: One Woman’s Quest for Ancient Human Answers to 21st Century Problems, this mother of two details what it was like to quit her job in the tech world and spend time learning about “rewilding”—rejecting the comforts of our modern world and turning to ancient tools and skills to survive. She created fire from sticks, axes from stones, and tools from bones for harvesting wild food. Many of Kraft’s immersive experiences took place on and around Mount Diablo, and the author is planning an event with Save Mount Diablo during her book tour in the fall. The book hits stores on August 22.”
