Book description
Por la autora best seller de The New York Times por su libro Invernando, llega una invitación a redescubrir nuestro sentimiento de asombro por la vida. Muchos de nosotros nos sentimos atrapados en una rutina basada en el cambio constante: ciclos de malas noticias, el parloteo incesante de las redes sociales, nuestras familias divididas... Nos sentimos temerosos y cansados, al borde de nuestro cuerpo, sin saber detectar muy bien qué es lo que nos tiene perpetuamente agotados. Para Katherine May, este murmullo de fatiga y ansiedad constante le hizo preguntarse qué era aquello que se estaba perdiendo. ¿Podría haber una forma diferente de relacionarse con el mundo, una que le permitiera sentirse más descansada y tranquila, incluso cuando se desarrollan cambios sísmicos en el planeta? ¿Habría alguna forma de que todos nos moviéramos por la vida con curiosidad y ternura, sensibilizados y alineados con la sutil magia que nos rodea? En Encantamiento, May invita al lector a acompañarla en un viaje para despertar nuestro sentido innato de asombro. Con humor, franqueza y calidez, comparte historias de sus propias luchas con el trabajo, la familia y las secuelas de la pandemia, en particular los sentimientos abrumadores a medida que el mundo se apresura a volver a la rutina. Anhelando una forma diferente de vivir, May comienza a explorar las propiedades restauradoras del mundo natural, moviéndose a través de los elementos de la tierra, el agua, el fuego y el aire e identificando los silenciosos rastros de magia que se pueden encontrar solo cuando buscamos. A través de la atención y del ritual deliberados, la autora encuentra una relación más esperanzadora y una reconexión tranquila con el mundo que la rodea. Combinando lirismo y narración, sensibilidad y empatía, Encantamiento nos invita a cada uno de nosotros a abrir la puerta a la experiencia humana en toda su complejidad sensual y a encontrar la belleza que nos espera en la vida misma ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the New York Times-bestselling author of Wintering, an invitation to rediscover the feeling of awe and wonder available to us all. Many of us feel trapped in a grind of constant change: rolling news cycles, the chatter of social media, our families split along partisan lines. We feel fearful and tired, on edge in our bodies, not quite knowing what has us perpetually depleted. For Katherine May, this low hum of fatigue and anxiety made her wonder what she was missing. Could there be a different way to relate to the world, one that would allow her to feel more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet? Might there be a way for all of us to move through life with curiosity and tenderness, sensitized to the subtle magic all around? In Enchantment, May invites the reader on a journey to reawaken our innate sense of wonder and awe. With humor, candor, and warmth, she shares stories of her own struggles with work, family, and the aftereffects of the pandemic, particularly feelings of overwhelm as the world rushes to reopen. Craving a different way to live, May begins to explore the restorative properties of the natural world, moving through the elements of earth, water, fire, and air and identifying the quiet traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. Through deliberate attention and ritual, she unearths the potency and nourishment that come from quiet reconnection with our immediate environment. Blending lyricism and storytelling, sensitivity and empathy, Enchantment invites each of us to open the door to the human experience in all its sensual complexity, and to find the beauty waiting for us there.
