Cold Comfort: Lessons from Wintering

A book review  

​Stop fighting the frost. >

We’re taught to "power through" and "keep grinding," but Katherine May’s Wintering offers a different path: leaning into the cold. This isn't a book about being sad; it’s a survival guide for the fallow periods of life. If you’re feeling burnt out, frozen out, or just plain tired, consider this your permission slip to slow down. It’s time to learn the art of the retreat.

Dormancy is not death. >

In Wintering, Katherine May deconstructs the greatest lie of modern life: that we must be "in bloom" all year round. By looking at everything from honeybees to the Northern Lights, May proves that the dark seasons aren't a detour—they’re the destination. Short, poetic, and profoundly restorative, this book is a mandatory manual for anyone navigating a "winter" of their own.
