Jean Liedloff explored humanity's innate sense of well-being and how modern life can disconnect us from it. Her seminal work, based on her time living with the Yequana people, offers profound insights into natural child-rearing practices and their lasting impact on individuals and society. She argued that by understanding and potentially reincorporating these principles, we can rediscover our inherent sense of wholeness. Liedloff was also a founding member of The Ecologist magazine.
Jean Liedloff, an American writer, spent two and a half years in the South American jungle living with Stone Age Indians. The experience demolished her Western preconceptions of how we should live and led her to a radically different view of what human nature really is. She offers a new understanding of how we have lost much of our natural well-being and shows us practical ways to regain it for our children and for ourselves.
