Wintering explores the profound experience of personal hardship, offering a thoughtful guide to navigating life's most difficult moments. Through a mix of personal storytelling and deep reflection, Katherine May shares her own journey of healing, showing how we can grow through times of struggle. By embracing solitude and drawing strength from nature, literature, and mythology, she uncovers the quiet, transformative power of the winter season.

This book invites readers to rethink adversity, framing it as an opportunity for renewal rather than a setback. May encourages us to embrace the stillness and subtle beauty that emerge during tough times, revealing how hardship can lead to hidden strengths and new beginnings. Wintering reminds us that, like nature's seasons, we too can find resilience and growth in the quietest of moments.

A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac–who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015.
The authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster.
