Wintering: How I Learned to Flourish When Life Became Frozen
Just Arrived

$9.90

Unit price

An intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a breakup, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.

If you've ever felt guilty for seemingly doing "nothing," this book could be a soothing balm for your productivity-obsessed soul. Alan Lightman, while coming from a place of science and academia, invites you to discover the unexpected virtues of downtime. As a MIT professor, Lightman's perspective carries weight, suggesting that allowing our minds to wander isn't wasteful but a critical aspect of our overall well-being and creativity. This read can help shift your perspective on idle moments and validate the quiet, less structured parts of your life.
