With both humor and a touch of reality, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Living\u003c\/i\u003e centers on mindfulness, but also empathy, relaxation, gratitude, and awareness--evergreen subjects that are more important and relevant now than ever. With a striking package, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Living\u003c\/i\u003e is an extension of the themes of Snider's first two books--which explored the creative process and the love of reading--and is the perfect gift for those in a need of reflection, commiseration, hope, and a little extra self-care. Above all, Snider's cartoons will inspire and encourage a more thoughtful way of experiencing the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abrams Comicarts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781419753510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144","brand":"Grant Snider","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41596117614773,"sku":"9781419753510","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_624a2abf-7dfa-4eca-9bba-a679baa42947.jpg?v=1644333281","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-art-of-living-reflections-on-mindfulness-and-the-overexamined-life-9781419753510","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
