Description: Varieties of Melancholy : A Hopeful Guide to Our Somber Moods, Hardcover by Life of School (COR); Botton, Alain De (EDT), ISBN 1912891603, ISBN-13 9781912891603, Brand New, Free shipping in the US
An insightful and consoling guide to the melancholic state of mind.
This is a book that celebrates the most neglected but valuable emotion we can feel: melancholy. Melancholy isn’t depression, rage, or bitterness. It’s a serene, wise, and kindly response to the difficulties of being alive. It helps us navigate a wise and rational middle ground between extreme despair and naïve optimism.
But melancholy is a well-kept secret. It isnt celebrated or recommended. It remains relatively unexplored in a hyper-competitive, noisy, frantic age.
This book carefully collects and interprets a wide range of universally recognizable forms of melancholy, rendering us less confused by our precious yet elusive feelings. We discover everything from the melancholy of a Sunday evening and the melancholy of adolescence to the melancholy of parties and the infatuated melancholy of having a crush.
Offering a rich and varied portrait of melancholy and its range of emotions, this book leads the reader toward deeper insight, more authentic acceptance, and more honest self-compassion.
- AN IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION OF A COMPLEX EMOTION through the lens of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy.
- HOW TO INTERPRET AND ACCEPT our melancholy moods.
- INCREASE SELF AWARENESS through meditating on melancholy.
- EXAMINES 35 VARIETIES OF MELANCHOLY including: Dating and Melancholy, Loneliness and Melancholy, Adolescence and Melancholy, and Politics and Melancholy.
