Bush Wisdom by Jess Howard

A guide to creating an authentic life, wherever you are

The next beautiful photography book from the author of Bush Life and founder of Bush Journal, Jess Howard, featuring personal stories and 20 insights we can all live by.

So many people have felt a shift towards prioritising a more authentic life in recent years, and nowhere exemplifies that life better than the bush.

Rural Australians navigate isolation, the weather, and a huge responsibility to the land and their animals, but from these pressures have gleaned powerful and important learnings. The bush lifestyle forces them to slow down (there are no trains to catch, after all) and accept that there are things they can't change (like the weather). But it also forces them to be self-sufficient, respect nature, find beauty in all the seasons and foster a sense of community.

Bush Wisdom shares the stories of a wide range of fascinating rural characters, featuring twenty important learnings we can all live by, wherever that may be.
