The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. They can change our minds, heal our bodies and even help us avoid environmental disaster; they are metabolic masters, earth-makers and key players in most of nature's processes. In Entangled Life, Merlin Sheldrake takes us on a mind-altering journey into their spectacular world, and reveals how these extraordinary organisms transform our understanding of our planet and life itself.

Deeply inspiring

A deeply inspiring book that changes one’s perception of the world just below the leaves

Extremely entertaining education

Warning, this book may well change your life. Don't let that stop you. 😊

Extraordinary

Sheldrake's fungal presentation delivers winding connections that motor our world, and thoroughly challenges the myopia of strict identities on the way. This is a book I wouldn't be surprised to find as becoming a hallmark of thinking for a healthy future.

A book for our times

We now know how strongly narratives permeate our lives and society - but very few books ever truly illustrate how the many threads of all those stories, facts and discoveries are intertwined, by example, while educating and entertaining with the ease of a genuine master. Merlin is not just a supremely knowledgeable mycologist, but also an elegant and insightful master of his field. I have been informed, entertained and motivated to learn more. And there could be no better narrator. The mushroom talks!

Fascinating info

I find the new (meaning since my high school biology class) on fungi and the interdependence between them and plants fascinating. This book is a good overview with many perspectives on the topic. Unfortunately the author is not the best narrator for his book - his voice is a bit soporific.

Easily a second listen

Absolutely captivating, well narrated by author, unveiling a magical connected world essential to all living and dead organisms.

One of the best books ever!

Merlin Sheldrake has a surprisingly philysophical way of describing the the topics in his book. He dares to speculate about scientifical findings and questions but he does it in a very nuanced way. He uses personal stories to explain his work and way of thinking, which made listening to the audiobook a pleasure.
I have listened to the audiobook twice and am now planning on reading it too.

Makes me sleepy

I appreciate the book being read by the author, but his voice makes me so sleepy. I hadn’t experienced something like this. I cannot focus on what he is saying, I just want to sleep. If I listed during the day, it deprives me of energy, if at night I fall asleep.

Mind blowing and eye opening

Brilliant story with phenomenal detail ans information. A book every person should listen too. Awesome that the author was the narrator

Lo ved it. I am a mushroom lover

Magical, Full of knowledge. I will probably listen to it again at some point.
