Rachel Wilkerson Miller: The Nice Life, Gebunden

Klappentext

A joyful guide to life that prizes "good enough" over striving for the best in order to have a creative, beautiful, and fulfilling life, even in difficult times

Attempting to live well when the world is coarse and we're stretched thin may seem impossible, but according to journalist Rachel Wilkerson Miller, there's no better time to tap into genuine loveliness and beauty. This book is a refreshing, joyful invitation to cultivate a life that feels abundant, sumptuous, and deeply satisfying. Despite all that is wrong, you can still have a nice life.

A nice life is cozy, it's comfortable, it's meaningful. It's filled with moments of beauty. It's for anyone interested in the #softlife trend. You can have a nice life even when facing illness, grief, or unemployment; when you're stressed about work, politics, or climate change. Living well in hard times can be an act of resistance and self-love. How do we get there? By making an effort and living with intention.
