Overfed and Undernourished - PREORDER

We have inherited a world that treats the body as a machine, the earth as a resource, and the soul as an embarrassment. The result is a civilization that is, in the most profound sense, overfed and undernourished, full of stimulation and starved of meaning, rich in information and impoverished in wisdom, connected to everything and belonging to nothing. Overfed and Undernourished traces this hunger to its root: the centuries-long split between spirit and matter that severed us from our bodies, from the living world, and from the deeper intelligence that sustains life at every scale. Drawing on ecology, microbiology, transpersonal psychology, shamanic wisdom, and her own experience of cancer, Kathryn L. Goetz shows that the forces depleting our soil and the forces depleting our souls are not separate problems. They are one. This is a book about what it actually means to thrive, and why genuine vitality requires not a better protocol but a different relationship: with your body, with the earth, with the sacred, and with the deeper self that has been waiting, patiently, beneath the noise of a life lived at the surface. Reclaiming vitality is not an achievement. It is a homecoming.
