Reasons not to worry : how to be Stoic in chaotic times / by Delaney, Brigid,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Like many people today, Brigid Delaney was searching for answers to timeless questions: How can we be good? Find inner peace? Properly grieve? Tame our insecurities, such as the fear of missing out? Determine what truly matters? Centuries ago, the Stoics pondered many of these same questions. And so, at an important inflection point in her own life, Brigid decided to let these ancient philosophers be her guide. Brigid is rash where the Stoics are logical; she runs on chaos, while the Stoics relinquish control of things beyond their reach. Over the course of a year, she dedicated herself to following the wisdom of Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. She hoped to discover how best to live--how she could use the wisdom of these ancient thinkers to navigate life in the modern world. In Reasons Not to Worry, Brigid shares what she learned, showing us how we, too, can draw on the Stoics to regain a sense of agency and tranquility and find meaning in our lives. From learning to relinquish control to cultivating daily awareness of our mortality to building community, Brigid's insights are very funny and very wise. Stoicism can be a tough medicine to swallow, but no longer. Thoughtful, timely, surprisingly practical, and filled to the brim with ways to learn how best to be in the world, Delaney's guide provides compelling and sensible reasons not to worry."--

The soulful cottage : creating a charming and personal home / by O'Neill, Fifi,author.; Lohman, Mark,photographer.;
"The Soulful Cottage embraces cherished ideas-home, family, comfort, and style-that are near and dear to our hearts. From bustling cities to idyllic rural settings and seashores, Fifi explores an approach to decoration that is both current and familiar. In the first half of the book, Elements, she considers the essential ingredients: tactile materials, soft colours, handwoven textiles, and homemade items. She then visits 12 enchanting homes, including an upcycler's paradise in California, a coastal hideaway in New England, and a jewellery designer's elegant abode in New Mexico. Though always warm and inviting, these cottages have a quiet sophistication that is collected, curated, and considered. Their owners share an appreciation for heritage and a fresh, inspiring take on cottage living. The Soulful Cottage looks beyond passing trends to highlight varied, thoughtful interiors crafted with intention and authenticity. It is easy to understand why this enduring aesthetic is here to stay."--
