Illuminates the farreaching harms of believing that natural means good, from misinformation about health choices to justifications for sexism, racism, and flawed economic policies.People love whats natural: its the best way to eat, the best way to parent, even the best way to actnaturally, just as nature intended. Appeals to the wisdom of nature are among the most powerful arguments in the history of human thought. Yet Nature (with a capital N) and natural goodness are not objective or scientific. In this groundbreaking book, scholar of religion Alan Levinovitz demonstrates that these beliefs are actually religious and highlights the many dangers of substituting simple myths for complicated realities. It may not seem like a problem when it comes to paying a premium for organic food. But what about condemnations of unnatural sexual activity? The guilt that attends not having a natural birth? Economic deregulation justified by the inherent goodness of natural markets?In Natural, readers embark on an epic journey, from Peruvian rainforests to the backcountry in Yellowstone Park, from a natural bodybuilding competition to a natural cancercuring clinic. The result is an essential new perspective that shatters faith in Natures goodness and points to a better alternative. We can love nature without worshipping it, and we can work toward a better world with humility and dialogue rather than taboos and zealotry.

This book really challenges the way I think about nature and science. The author's insights on how faith can lead to harmful fads were particularly eye-opening. I finished it in just a few days!

Great insights on flawed science
I loved how the author broke down complicated topics into digestible bits. The connection between nature and unjust laws was fascinating. Will recommend it to my book club!

Not what I expected
I thought this would be more about nature itself, but it veered into social commentary. While I appreciate the author's perspective, I wanted more practical advice on nature rather than criticism of society. Mixed feelings!

Interesting but dense at times
I found the ideas in this book really compelling, but some sections felt a bit heavy on the detail. It’s definitely made me reconsider some of my beliefs about health trends. Worth a read if you can stick with it!

Disappointed with the direction
I had high hopes for this book based on the title, but I found it hard to stay engaged. The arguments about faith leading to harmful fads felt overplayed. It just didn't resonate with me.
