A joyful guide to life that prizes "good enough" over striving for the best in order to have a creative, beautiful and fulfilling life, even in difficult times.
Attempting to live well when the world is coarse and we're stretched thin may seem impossible, but according to journalist Rachel Wilkerson Miller, there's no better time to tap into genuine loveliness and beauty. With practical advice, personal anecdotes and insight from more than twenty experts, this book is a joyful invitation to cultivate a life that feels abundant, sumptuous and deeply satisfying.
A nice life is cozy, comfortable, meaningful. It's for anyone interested in the #softlife trend. You can have a nice life even when facing illness, grief or unemployment; when you're stressed about work, politics or climate change. Living well in hard times can be an act of resistance and self-love. And we get there by living with intention.
