ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Wintering: How I Learned to Flourish When Life Became Frozen by Katherine May, the author explores the concept of "wintering" as a metaphor for difficult times in life, going beyond the literal season. She interweaves personal experiences with observations on nature, literature, and cultural traditions to understand how to navigate such periods. The book highlights the importance of slowing down, resting, and engaging with challenging moments mindfully. May presents "winter" not as something to be avoided, but as a necessary part of life's cycle, a time for reflection, recuperation, and growth. The narrative questions the modern tendency to see depression as a failure and underscores the need for self-compassion and kindness, especially during times of struggle. The author's journey involves both internal and external exploration, and seeks solace in those in-between spaces. Ultimately, she concludes that life is a continuous cycle of change, and that our ability to endure and adapt to it is key to thriving.
