    Die Weisheit der Faultiere
    • »Ich habe aufgehört, mich anzustrengen, und es fühlt sich so gut an.« Hast du genug von Stress und dem Druck, ständig besser zu werden? Lass dich von Faultieren inspirieren, deren Lebensphilosophie auf Entschleunigung basiert. Diese Tiere schlafen viel, bewegen sich langsam, genießen ihr Essen und verbringen viel Zeit allein – und das seit 30 Millionen Jahren. Es ist an der Zeit, Faulheit neu zu entdecken und von diesen Entspannungsexperten zu lernen. Nur wer auch mal nichts tut, findet langfristig sein Wohlbefinden. Hier sind einige ihrer Weisheiten: Schlaf aus – erholsamer für Geist und Körper, als frühmorgens joggen zu gehen; Faultiere schlafen zwischen 10 und 18 Stunden täglich. Iss langsam – sie sind Pioniere der Slow-Food-Bewegung, genießen frische Blätter, Zweige und Früchte und verbringen Stunden mit dem Kauen. Halt still – als Meister der Reglosigkeit entkommen sie Raubtieren, indem sie einfach stillhalten. In einer hektischen Medienwelt ist es erholsam, nicht auf alles reagieren zu müssen. Sei dir selbst genug: Faultiere sind von Natur aus ungesellig und verbringen viel Zeit allein. Alleinsein ist nicht schlimm, sondern kann magisch sein. Diese humorvolle Anleitung zur Gelassenheit regt zum Nachdenken an und bietet eine erfrischende Perspektive auf das Leben.

    • The secret to living a better, deeper, more fulfilling life. Or at least, the secret to chilling out just a tiny bit. Wise, kind, observant and gentle, alpacas are the Dali Llamas of the animal kingdom. Their days consist of quiet contemplation, empathy and sweet-natured interactions with their herd – we have much to learn from them. So take a deep breath, still your mind and rise above the fray, to learn to live life the alpaca way.

    • Relax, unwind and soak up the wisdom of the sloth with the slowest page turner you'll ever read.From tidying and Hygge, to living Lagom, the endless pressure to be happier, live better, sleep soundly, and eat mindfully can be exhausting. But this year's lifestyle trend finally delivers the perfect antidote - welcome to the year of the sloth.Sloths are mindfulness in action. Contemplative, deliberate, relaxed, and focused. They resist the rat race, the incessant pressures from society to be more productive, and they don't care how many steps they've logged on their fitness tracker. Long-limbed, a little bit shaggy, and a lot wide-eyed, they're wonderful creatures, not to mention completely adorable.Here you can enjoy take-it-slow wisdom inspired by sloths; including advice on sleep (more restorative than a 6am run), eating and 'exercise' (sloths are the original pioneers of slow food and yoga after all), work (did you know that lazy people have higher IQs?), family life, and love.Dispelling over-complicated myths about productivity, this brilliant book confirms that it really is OK to be a sloth.

      Otters are some of the most delightful animals on the planet. These long, lean, furry creatures embody pure joy in so many ways:What other species builds water slides for fun?Or holds hands with their friends just because?Or wraps themselves in seaweed so they can nap without floating away?These intelligent, water-dwelling mammals are not only an essential part of the world's ecosystem (not to mention YouTube's ecosystem), but they have a lot to teach us about the way we live life.

    • From the author of The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place, comes a defense of screen time. We’re inundated with advice on how to cut back on our screen time, and urged instead to embrace nature, human relationships, and being present in the moment. But has anyone actually considered those realities? They sound like a lot of work. In her new book, Jennifer McCartney gives thanks for phones, iPads, laptops, the menu tablets at Chili’s, and all screens everywhere. We can now follow a baby alpaca on a webcam, watch a viral video on TikTok, find an ex on Facebook, measure our pupillary distances, answer any question without engaging our brains—there’s so much to learn, with little to no effort. The Internet practically runs itself! We use it for work, for family, for research. We’re really, really good at being online! And that’s something to celebrate. With her usual balance of pithy wisdom, aptitude tests, and hilarious commentary, McCartney embraces our new reality. After all, as Descartes might have said, “I scroll, therefore I am.”
