{"product_id":"9781786897633","title":"Consolations : The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words - Maria Popova","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Consolations David Whyte unpacks aspects of being human that many of us spend our lives trying vainly to avoid - loss, heartbreak, vulnerability, fear - boldly reinterpreting them, fully embracing their complexity, never shying away from paradox in his relentless search for meaning. Beginning with 'Alone' and closing with 'Withdrawal', each piece in this life-affirming book is a meditation on meaning and context, an invitation to shift and broaden our perspectives on life: pain and joy, honesty and anger, confession and vulnerability, the experience of feeling overwhelmed and the desire to run away from it all. Through this lens, procrastination may be a necessary ripening; hiding an act of freedom; and shyness something that accompanies the first stage of revelation. Consolations invites readers into a poetic and thoughtful consideration of words whose meaning and interpretation influence the paths we choose and the way we traverse them throughout our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maria Popova","offers":[{"title":"192 pages \/ 07\/11\/2019 \/ Popular philosophy","offer_id":56970530816375,"sku":"9781786897633","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781786897633_76f783a3-afb3-40ba-becf-4fe033e65bde.jpg?v=1780998846","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781786897633","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
