A Story of Adventure About a Woman Who Broke with Convention and Chose Her Own Way
JUNGLE JEAN is the timely and captivating biography of Jean Liedloff, an original thinker and cultural rebel whose insights into human nature have impacted tens of millions of people around the world. This is the story of a Manhattan socialite who left the glamorous life and traveled to the pristine regions of the Amazon on a diamond hunting expedition. Two years later, on her second expedition, she lost all interest in diamonds. The indigenous people had allowed her to see deeply into our ancestral past and into the heart of human nature. This was the real treasure.
So intrigued by the natural harmony among these people, Jean returned to the jungle, living for months at a time with the Yequana, a rainforest tribe that had never been in contact with the civilized world. Far more sophisticated than we are relationship-wise, the Yequana lived in a state of blessed good cheer.Why? Jean wondered. Are they having such a good time with the very human nature that gives us so much trouble?
