Do you hate winter?
Do you dread it getting dark at 4 pm?
Do you find our endless grey skies, drizzle and biting cold tough to deal with?
Dr. Kari Leibowitz can help.
When psychologist Kari Leibovitz moved to the Norwegian town of Tromsø, 200 miles north of the Arctic circle, she expected its inhabitants to hate the winter months. Instead, they were just as happy then as during summer, and leaned in to the often hidden joys of the colder, darker season.
Leibowitz went on to study this 'wintertime mindset' in countries all over the world, and has brought together a compendium of practical advice and evocative accounts from peoples, cultures and communities who embrace winter. This is far more than Hygge. She understands that coping with a winter where you face endless grey skies, drizzle, and darkness is very different to doing so on crisp white snow, under the Northern Lights.
Bringing together traditions, rituals and practical mindset-changing tips, How to Winter will help even the most dedicated sun worshiper welcome the coldest season. Whatever we do, winter IS coming, and this is the book to help you thrive when it does.
Packed with fascinating stories and traditions from across the globe, How to Winter is the ultimate companion and guidebook to see you through all life's seasons. Kari Leibowitz is a Stanford-trained PhD and expert at leveraging mindset to improve health and well-being. She combines scholarly expertise with practical know-how to apply the science of mindset to make us happier and healthier, and is a particular expert in applying this knowledge to winter. Whether you're coping with extreme cold, or simply endless grey skies, drizzle, and dirty-looking slush, learn to find joy in the colder, darker months of the year, with this mindset-changing book by one of the world's foremost winter experts.
