{"product_id":"9781419753510","title":"The Art of Living: Reflections on Mindfulness and the Overexamined Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eA humorous, uplifting look at mindfulness, from beloved illustrator Grant Snider\"Find a quiet spot away from all distraction \/ Listen to your breath \/ Watch your thoughts float past you \/ Forget the obligations of today \/ Try not to consider your eventual decay \/ Let yourself drift away \/ Arise, connected with the Earth \/ Awakened to the Universe.\"\"Mindfulness\" is a buzzword bordering on the clich�, with books filling the shelves of any indie bookstore you step into. Although clich�s remind us of the familiar and the commonplace, they take on new meaning and greater significance when presented in a fresh new way. In The Art of Living, cartoonist Grant Snider, author of The Shape of Ideas and I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf, has created an all-new 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, The Art of Living centers on mindfulness, but also empathy, relaxation, gratitude, and awareness-evergreen subjects that are more important and relevant now than ever. With a striking package that includes a die-cut cover, The Art of Living is an extension of the themes of Snider's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45458044354781,"sku":"9781419753510","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781419753510.jpg?v=1719941507","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781419753510","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
