Too often, we prepare ourselves to endure, rather than enjoy, the winter months. The Gifts of Winter is your reminder that this can be a magical season, rich with natural miracles and spectacular beauty, as well as the perfect time to slow down, restore and reset for the year ahead. But to benefit, we need to embrace winter, rather than pretend it's not happening.

Part contemplative, part practical, this transformative guide will inspire you to lean into winter as a period of rest and reflection and learn how to unlock its healing powers so your body and brain can thrive.

Chartered psychologist, Dr Stephanie Fitzgerald, draws upon decades of clinical expertise and her personal experience of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), to show you how to navigate winter's challenges and uncover its joys.

Woven with simple tips, mindset advice and regular reflection prompts, as well as charming illustrations to help bring winter to life, with this beautiful book you will come to see winter in a whole new, positive light.
