Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May

3.0

I found parts of this book relatable, and worth pondering. I enjoyed the parts where she described experiences more than philosophy, though. I was sometimes a little confused as to whether this book is about weathering hard/sad/depressing times, or about literally getting through a cold, dark winter (something we have very little of here in Texas). I know it was a little of both, with the emphasis on the winter being a metaphor for hard times, but there were extended parts about actually dealing with cold temps (sauna, polar bear swimming, etc). Those were interesting to me, but not really something I can incorporate into my life.
