A 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.
