Enchantment Is a Book About Finding Fascination and Wonder and Intense Joy in the Miniature of Life

Katherine May’s moving memoir Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times resonated deeply with the audience who found it when it was published in 2020. It’s about her own journey through a personal “winter”: a period of time when she had to retreat into herself in order to cope with the world. Drawing on research about how Northern cultures have weathered the inevitable cold season, and interspersed with wisdom about moving through your own winter, Wintering is a balm. Leah and Katherine sit down to talk about how to make a better self-help genre, slowing down, and embracing the seasons of your life.
