Book excerpt: Longlisted for the 2020 Wainwright Prize 'I can't remember the last book I read that I could say with absolute assurance would save lives. But this one will' Chris Packham 'Fabulously direct and truthful, filled with energy but devoid of self-pity . . . I was impressed and enchanted. Highly recommended' Stephen Fry 'Succeeds – triumphantly – in articulating with great honesty what it is like to suffer with a mental illness, and in providing strategies for coping' Mail on Sunday When Joe Harkness suffered a breakdown in 2013, he tried all the things his doctor recommended: medication helped, counselling was enlightening, and mindfulness grounded him. But nothing came close to nature, particularly birds. How had he never noticed such beauty before? Soon, every avian encounter took him one step closer to accepting who he is. The positive change in Joe's wellbeing was so profound that he started a blog to record his experience. Three years later he has become a spokesperson for the benefits of birdwatching, spreading the word everywhere from Radio 4 to Downing Street. In this groundbreaking book filled with practical advice, Joe explains the impact that birdwatching had on his life, and invites the reader to discover these extraordinary effects for themselves.

Book excerpt: A BIRDING JOURNEY AT HOME AND BEYOND It began with a flutter of yellow feathers flitting through the trees, casting beams of sunshine and promise that burst through her kitchen window. This was her sign to look up. As a licensed therapist, Tammah Watts knew that she needed to seek and accept hope, love, and support to overcome her chronic pain and cultivate resilience. But she could not predict that the little yellow bird would put her on the path to healing by fostering a powerful connection with birds and the experience of birding. Tammah shares her emotional journey of finding comfort and inspiration from her feathered friends, while providing practical tips and tools to help you: Explore the practice of birdwatching from the comfort of your own home and community Increase your self-awareness, mindfulness, and concentration Find acceptance and alignment with the spirit and beauty of birds Right outside your door flies just what you’ve been looking for to help ease symptoms of stress, pain, depression, and anxiety. All you have to do is look up, take notice, and open your heart and mind. No matter where you are, what you look like, or what you're going through, you can create sacred space and connection with birds and begin to heal.

Book excerpt: Lessons from a Birdbrain combines beginning birdwatching, photography and mindfulness. My hope is readers will encounter a concept or a visual they may have heard or seen before that will resonate differently based on the combination. "When the student is ready, the teacher appears" and I hope that outcome will be encouraged by this book...and/or the teacher is a bird: ). How to Use This BookI intend for this book to be read daily for 21 days to help readers create a new habit in mindfulness. This correlates with the length of time it takes for a habit to take hold. I also include a "birding hacks" chapter that covers everything I wish I knew and learned through trial and error about birding and bird photography.Who Is My Target Audience?Ohio residents, beginning birders, young people, old people, and anyone who is open to personal growth will benefit from hearing these simple lessons in a new way.Why Did I Write This?I find birdwatching and bird photography enjoyable and rewarding as a hobby. At first, though, I found it overwhelming. The material I found about birds I encountered in Ohio was extensive. Um, do I need to know how many eggs they lay and what their breeding rituals include to spot them in the field?. So, this book is a beginner's guide to some of the birds you would commonly see in Ohio.I have also been studying mindfulness and the pursuit of serenity. For me, there are direct connections between birdwatching and mindfulness. When I am outdoors with my binoculars and camera, I have quiet time to slow down, be present and enjoy the amazing natural world. Plus, I get the chance to work through challenges in the background while I break from my normal breakneck pace.So, if you enjoy this book, tell your friends, buy more books, and for heaven's sake, enjoy this very moment. The present is the gift we have today."The best way to capture moments is to pay attention. This is how we cultivate mindfulness." Jon Kabat-Zinn

In 25 focused reflections, author Adam Ford shares observations on bird habits and qualities, including the delicate genius of the feather, the flight of the swallow and the intricacies of birds’ nests, reminding us of the wonders of our feathered friends.

Book excerpt: "Lessons from a Birdbrain: Winter, Ohio" introduces 21 birds that spend the coldest months in the Buckeye state, where I call home. With each bird, I include reflections and a quote I encourage readers to ponder along with learning more about the birds. I've tried to make the learning fun and different from what you would find if you looked up the bird in a typical field guide. This may be related to their nicknames, their breeding behavior or something about my experience with getting the picture. Reflections are all about mindfulness, an "aha" that has helped me live life more serenely. Why or how, you may ask, does birding go with mindfulness? From Oxford Languages, "Mindfulness is defined as 1) the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something 2) a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations." Birdwatching is all about the state of being conscious and aware. If I'm not paying close attention, I can miss a lot. And birdwatching brings me alertly into the present. Acknowledging and accepting feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations, admittedly I often have to work at?but everything else about birding is practically the definition of mindfulness itself.The 'birdbrain lesson' component of this book starts to address the harder feelings work. I've frequently been one to discount, misinterpret, ignore or flat out flee from that icky "f" word. But I'm working on it and through my continued growth, I hope to share insights that will help others on their journey. Someone once said when the student is ready the teacher appears. For me, the teacher often has feathers. I say that because many times, solutions to problems and insights of great value come to me while birding. One could surmise this is the result of letting my brain work in the background on something while I focus my awareness on the present moment to spot that Common Merganser or that lively Carolina Chickadee.

Book excerpt: ** A New York Times Bestseller ** NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY: Time • The New Yorker • NPR • GQ • Elle • Vulture • Fortune • Boing Boing • The Irish Times • The New York Public Library • The Brooklyn Public Library "A complex, smart and ambitious book that at first reads like a self-help manual, then blossoms into a wide-ranging political manifesto."—Jonah Engel Bromwich, The New York Times Book Review One of President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2019" Porchlight's Personal Development & Human Behavior Book of the Year In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives. Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it. We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important … but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.
