APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Most of us could benefit from a little tenderness and compassion directed toward ourselves. Australian author Brigid Lowry’s luminescent book is full of beauty and reminders of how to breathe through the difficult moments and appreciate the good. Written as short entries that can be read in any order, A Year of Loving Kindness to Myself opens with a section for every month of the year, anchoring larger themes of Buddhist thought and meditation (for example, equanimity and living simply) to the experiences of the seasons and the passage of time. The book’s second part is arranged thematically, with reflections on everyday activities like walking and making decisions—as well as Lowry’s funny, uplifting lists, from dreams she’s had to “things to do when life goes sideways.” We’ll add an entry to that list: Open up this book.
