Description

A deceptively simple, brilliantly conceived collection of brief fictional stories written with the precise intention of carrying readers off to a peaceful and restorative slumber, based on the popular podcast.

In Nothing Much Happens Kathryn Nicolai offers a healthy way to ease the mind before bed: through the timeless appeal of classic bedtime stories. These calming tales take place in and around a fictional city, each one revealing those small, sweet moments of joy that may be found in the commonplace. As the unnamed, gender-neutral narrators recount their days they evoke the distinct comforts offered by each of the four seasons and gently lull their reader towards sleep. From celebrating nature and revelling in the joy or being home alone to the pleasure of getting lost in the stacks of the library and picking out the best of the end-of-season tomatoes at the farmer's market, this treasury offers something for everyone.

Using her decades of experience as a meditation and yoga teacher, Kathryn Nicolai creates a world for you to slip into, one rich in sensory experience that quietly teaches mindfulness and self-compassion, soothes frayed nerves, and builds solid habits for nurturing sleep.

I love the mindful nature of this text,full of eclectic ways to relax and surround oneself with positivity.The authors main premise was to write stories that help the reader to relax and sleep.The stories are short and take you on a journey around a small village where positivity resounds.You find yourself looking forward to reading the short texts but then amongst these wonderful tales are a series of recipes ,exercise tips,and mindful reminders to make your life better.
I loved this time and have incorporated some of the authors teachings into my everyday routine which I will endeavour to share in my workspace.
Overall a joy to read
