Jonathan Newman

How do we bridge the intense fractures of our modern world and move past the rigid boundaries of "them and us"?

After teaching social anthropology for many years, Dr Jonathan Newman realised a profound truth: that life is a journey reflected through the physical journeys we take in life. By altering how we move through the world as literal travelers, we fundamentally alter how we navigate our existence.

They wrote A Travel Guide to Connection to bring this lens out of the university and into everyday life. Wherever they go, Jonathan Newman explores how we form relations with the human and non-human world, living as "a boat made out of water," immersed in the world’s currents.

By reading this book, you get to embark on your own adventures and change how you see the world forever. Through curious empathy, you will learn your world as if for the first time, cultivate deeper connections, and never find the ordinary boring again.
