It was 11:00 pm when I checked my email for the last time and turned off my phone for what I hoped would be forever.

No running water, no car, no electricity or any of the things it powers: the internet, phone, washing machine, radio, or light bulb. Just a wooden cabin, on a smallholding, by the edge of a stand of spruce.

The Way Home is a modern-day Walden - an honest and lyrical account of a remarkable life lived in nature without modern technology. Mark Boyle, author of The Moneyless Man, explores the hard-won joys of building a home with his bare hands, learning to make fire, collecting water from the stream, foraging, and fishing.

What he finds is an elemental life, one governed by the rhythms of the sun and seasons, where life and death dance in a primal landscape of blood, wood, muck, water, and fire - much the same life we have lived for most of our time on earth. Revisiting it brings a deep insight into what it means to be human at a time when the boundaries between man and machine are blurring.

This is the most inspirational life changing book I have ever listened to! I didn’t want it to end and binge listened to it over a weekend.
Beautifully written, this book is gentle and loving as well as offering a wealth of information on the subject of living off grid. I can’t recommend highly enough. Well narrated too!

Life changing!

Mark offers a fascinating insight into his daily life and catalogues his journey and feelings as he lives a more sustainable existence close to nature and without the destruction and distraction of modern technology one which our ancestors would have known only to well.

As I listened intently to him, the irony was not lost on me that has Mark has made recent changes to live without modern technology that I was intact enabled to listen to him via it! via Audiobook, purchased via the internet on my heavily mined and unsustainable smartphone.

I respect his choices even if I'm not certain I fully agree with them all. Regardless of that Mark has made these changes with the best intentions and as the Gandhi once said you must 'Be the change you want to see in the world.' I onehundred percent agree with that.

I absolutely loved this book. I am a little jealous of this way of life but rather than let it make me feel down I have let it inspire me to live a little more gently on this planet. From blackberry picking to picking up roadkill for dinner to growing our own veg and herbs we are gradually getting more in tune with nature.
If you want a thought-provoking, beautifully written and thoroughly inspiring read then here it is, narrated with sensitivity, humour and feeling.

a must read (listen)

Mark really gives you food for thought. If you like Thoreau then you’re probably going to like The Way Home. He has strong views without preaching and while some aspects to his life I may not fully agree with (stopped being vegan) I respect the way that he lives and the integrity he lives with

Great book to challenge the modern way of thinking
