In
The Art of Living
, beloved cartoonist Grant Snider—author of
The Shape of Ideas
and
I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf
—has created a humorous, uplifting look at mindfulness in this collection of one- and two-page comics that map his inner thoughts, poetic observations, and frequent failures at living mindfully.
With both humor and a touch of reality,
centers on mindfulness, but also empathy, relaxation, gratitude, and awareness—evergreen subjects that are more important and relevant now than ever.
In a striking package, the reflections Grant Snider shares are an extension of the themes of his first two books—which explored the creative process and the love of reading—and is the perfect gift for those in a need of reflection, commiseration, hope, and a little extra self-care.
Above all, Snider’s cartoons will inspire and encourage a more thoughtful way of experiencing the world.
