❄️Here's another Winter read to add to your collection❄️

A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2024

A blend of mindset science, original research, and cultural insights for cultivating a positive “wintertime mindset,” to vanquish winter blues and find joy and comfort in dark times year-round.

Kari Leibowitz moved above the Arctic Circle – where the sun doesn’t rise for two months each winter –expecting to research the season’s negative effects on mental health, only to find that inhabitants actually looked forward to it with delight and enthusiasm. Leibowitz has since travelled to places on earth with some of the coldest, darkest, longest and most intense winters, and discovered the power of “wintertime mindset”— viewing the season as full of opportunity and wonder. Impactful strategies for cultivating this wintertime mindset can teach us not just about braving the gray, cold months of the year, but also the darker and more difficult seasons of life.

In Tromsø, Norway, people live in rhythm with nature, adapting to the months-long Polar Night by honoring seasonal fluctuations in energy, slowing down, and resting more.
On the Isle of Lewis, off the coast of Scotland, communal gatherings around roaring fires embrace darkness and provide connection during long nights.
In Yamagata, Japan, families sink into steaming onsen baths, banishing the chill of winter with healthful soaks that improve sleep and reduce risk of heart attack.

Inspired by cutting-edge psychological and behavioral science research as well as cultures worldwide that find warmth and joy in winter’s extremes, HOW TO WINTER provides readers with concrete tools for making winter wonderful wherever they live and harnessing the power of small mindset changes with big impact to help readers embrace every season of life.

🐔 Here's our staff pick of the week brought to you by Collee 🐔

 As we find ourselves in the midst of the holidays, sometimes a short little read is just the thing. What the Chicken Knows is a fascinating peep into chicken world.  As a keeper of chickens herself, Sy Montgomery is a fount of knowledge both clinical and personal. You will learn facts that will awe your tablemates at holiday gatherings. There are up to 350 varieties of chickens! Chickens can facially recognize and remember 100 other chickens! Chickens have an insatiable desire to peck at blood- bloodlust, essentially!
Montgomery's affection for her subject is contagious and you may find yourself doing a mental inventory of friends with chickens just so you can give a tiny dinosaur a little squeeze. This book was clucking charming!
