The Art of Living: Reflections on Mindfulness and the Overexamined Life Hardcover – April 5, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Find a quiet spot away from all distraction / Listen to your breath / Watch your thoughts float past you / Forget the obligations of today / Try not to consider your eventual decay / Let yourself drift away / Arise, connected with the Earth / Awakened to the Universe.
With both humor and a touch of reality, The Art of Living centers on mindfulness, but also empathy, relaxation, gratitude, and awareness—evergreen subjects that are more important and relevant now than ever. In a striking package, the reflections Grant Snider shares are an extension of the themes of his 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.

El formato es el habitual de otros libros del autor : Una colección de pensamientos en forma de cómics breves (de 1-2 páginas cada uno) que giran en torno a un tema general común. En este caso, la invitación a disfrutar de la vida sin dejarnos arrastrar por el ritmo enloquecido que nos imprime la sociedad actual. ¿Un libro de autoayuda? Más bien de reflexión : Snider nos invita a fijarnos en los pequeños milagros de la vida cotidiana (árboles, luz, color) ; a valorar el silencio, la paz interior, la creatividad ; a asumir el desánimo, la confusión, el bloqueo personal como algo superable ; en definitiva, a adoptar una actitud más positiva y abierta sobre la existencia.
Como en otros libros, el gran mérito de este reside en la increíble capacidad del autor para expresar visualmente conceptos complejos con imaginación y sentido del humor : Un signo de interrogación puede servir de sillón, pétalo de flor o guadaña ; un círculo de color, actuar como caramelo, globo, moneda o bote de pintura ; formas geométricas se combinan para reflejar confusión mental, la palabra "EGO" se muestra como una cárcel, un laberinto expresa las diferentes opciones que podemos asumir en la vida.
El estilo es sencillo y claro, sin grandes detalles ni barroquismo alguno ; pero el mensaje es refrescante y la inventiva visual, maravillosa. Un libro muy recomendable en suma como pequeña colección de pensamientos positivos mostrados con gran imaginación gráfica.
