Klappentext

Foreword by JULIA CAMERON, author of THE ARTIST'S WAY After years of writing about work, wellness and productivity, Emma Gannon hit a wall: chronic burnout left her unable to get out of bed. Something had to change. A Year of Nothing follows Emma's quiet rebellion against the cult of doing. Over four seasons, she steps away from the noise and rediscovers joy in life's simplest pleasures, from dog borrowing and dopamine dressing to relearning how to swim and embracing a child-free life. This is a gentle, hopeful guide to what happens when you stop trying to fix everything and choose to feel instead. Selected for The Observer Book Club and Fearne Cotton's Happy Place Book Club
