The Art of Living
Reflections on Mindfulness and the Overexamined Life
(Autor) Grant SniderA humorous, uplifting look at mindfulness, from beloved illustrator Grant Snider "Find a quiet spot away from all distraction / Listen to your breath / Watch your thoughts float past you / Forget the obligations of today / Try not to consider your eventual decay / Let yourself drift away / Arise, connected with the Earth / Awakened to the Universe." In The Art of Living, cartoonist Grant Snider, author of The Shape of Ideas and I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf, has created an all-new collection of one- and two-page comics that map his inner thoughts, poetic observations, and frequent failures at living mindfully. With both humor and a touch of reality, The Art of Living centers on mindfulness, but also empathy, relaxation, gratitude, and awareness--evergreen subjects that are more important and relevant now than ever. With a striking package, The Art of Living is an extension of the themes of Snider's first two books--which explored the creative process and the love of reading--and is the perfect gift for those in a need of reflection, commiseration, hope, and a little extra self-care. Above all, Snider's cartoons will inspire and encourage a more thoughtful way of experiencing the world.
