Weathering: How the earth’s deep wisdom can help us endure life’s storms

By Ruth Allen

My second book published by Ebury Press / Penguin Random House in Hardback in March 2024. It is available in hardback, ebook and audiobook (Audible or Spotify Premium) and is available to pre-order in paperback now!

In 2024, I took Weathering on a book tour to shops and festivals across the UK. If you missed out first time around but are interested in seeing something near you please do contact your local independent bookshop or festival and tell them! If you would like to host an event please drop me an email and I will be in touch.

Weathering has featured twice on Maria Popova’s The Marginalian - a world-renowned newsletter showcasing the best philosophical thought and thought-leadership from across the world.
