Travelling with meaningful experiences is what enriches your life in more ways than one. Dig deep so you focus on making your own life better by discovering and learning new things about the world.
Gain wisdom from world’s cultures and learn how to live a healthier, more contented life with tips you can put into action in ways – big and small. Lonely Planet’s Guide to Life offers the perfect manual for living a better, happier and more fulfilling life.
Lonely Planet’s Chris Zeiher says the publisher’s Guide to Life “is a total toolkit of collected cultural wisdoms”.
“The insights in Lonely Planet’s Guide to Life cover a vast territory, ranging from exercise and dietary advice to social mores and ancient customs and rituals.”
Do you want to eat as well as the French, live as thoughtfully as the Scandinavians and be as healthy as the Japanese? If you’ve answered ‘yes’ then this hardback is for you.
Discover the wisdoms from over 80 countries around the globe. Some insights on how to live well have already conquered the world: the practices of yoga and meditation, which have long since spread from the ashrams of Northern India to the boardrooms of Southern California.
“Others have gone global more recently: in the last few years, the Danish concept of hygge, a sense of comfort or cosiness, has ignited the world’s imagination, the same is true of the Japanese practice of shinkrin-yoku, now better known as forest bathing.”
However, many of the insights in the book are little known, much less adopted, outside their culture of origin.
You do get a chance to delve into the unique ways people live, eat and love. Each country profile offers a detailed Top Insights for Life diving deep into what makes that particular culture tick.
In addition to providing a rich resource for anyone looking for inspiration to improve their own sense of wellness, the beautifully illustrated hardback offers a fresh perspective on the countries from which they’re taken.
