Erica Smythe's Reviews > Amphibious Soul: Finding the Wild in a Tame World

A fascinating and interesting read but I must admit there were some parts which were "above my paygrade" in understanding some of the ideas and concepts Craig writes about. It is not a book which can be read in one sitting - you need time to absorb the content.
I was fortunate to work with both his parents way back (35 years ago) - great people and wonderful to hear Craig talk so fondly of them and acknowledge their contribution to who he is today.
Reading about Craig's ocean swims encourages me to be brave when I head back to the Cape in 2025 - the sea has not been my favourite swimming pool - I blame watching "Jaws" as a child!!
The book also encourages us to explore the "wild/untamed" part of ourselves whilst at the same reminding us that we need to take care of Mother Earth, failing which we could all be in a lot of trouble!
