Nature and the Human Soul by Bill Plotkin. His website, www.animas.org, offers the first chapter to read. The book describes an ecopsychological development from birth to death that beautifully weaves together the work of Joanna Macy, David Korten, Paul Hawken, among others.

His premises in writing the book are that a more mature human society requires more mature human individuals, nature (including our own deeper nature, soul) has always provided and still provides the best template for human maturation, and every human being has a unique and mystical relationship to the wild world, and that the conscious discovery and cultivation of that relationship is at the core of true adulthood.
