Care
About This Book
Brooke McAlary, whose earlier book SLOW has been a bestseller around the world, turns to a different way of living well, one meant for everyone. She starts from the view that the world plainly needs more care, yet many of us end up both overextended and inattentive. We worry so intensely about enormous global crises that the more intimate forms of kindness go unnoticed. The book argues that we can care for ourselves, the people we love and the communities around us at a human scale, and that doing so need not cost us our health, contentment or closest relationships. McAlary's suggestions are practical and everyday: spending more time outdoors, setting phones aside, meeting people face to face, noticing the wonder in ordinary surroundings and making room for play. The effects of such small habits, she suggests, can extend well beyond our own immediate circle. Written with warmth and understanding, the book speaks to readers who feel they must carry the world's problems alone. Its central message is that no single person has to do everything, and that meaningful change can begin with small, deliberate steps.
