Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May
informative
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
3.0
Was scrolling through my library’s “available now” audiobooks and decided to give it a shot.
I thought it was good overall. Like most self help-y books, I really connected with some parts, while others fell flat reading it as an average person with an average day job and salary (I still found those parts interesting though).
The book did feel a little pieced together. I was a little confused on the view point that May was trying to capture, as it went back and forth between living through our own personal winters (what she calls hard periods in our lives), and the literal season of winter. I know there is a bigger analogy at play here, but I felt that the two “views” of wintering in the book weren’t totally connected.
