Sarah Wilson is a multi–New York Times and Amazon best-selling author, journalist, podcaster, social philosopher and thought leader. Her New York Times bestseller First, We Make the Beast Beautiful was described by Mark Manson as “the best book on living with anxiety that I’ve ever read” and was named Book of the Year on NBC’s Today Show. Her more recent book about the climate crisis, This One Wild & Precious Life, won the 2021 US Gold Nautilus Award.
