In these frazzled times, words like ‘natural’,
‘green’ and ‘fresh’ are balm for busy
lives. So The Answer is for everyone who feels up
tight, locked in or stressed out.
All about nature’s power to heal,
it is written by Lindsey Dawson, founding editor of four popular
New Zealand magazines and the author of six previous books.
“We all know it’s good to get out into nature,”
she says, “but sometimes we just can’t do it when
we need to. The Answer is for when you’re dying for
the luscious feeling of sand or grass under your feet but
just can’t get there.”
The book reveals how nature whispers (and
sometimes shouts!) helpful signals at us - offering a host
of clues for bumping up our sense of energy, optimism and
faith in the future.
Luscious full-colour images enhance each
point in the story line, which will ring ‘me-too ‘bells
for everyone who’s ever felt tired, fed up, or stretched
so thinly they think they’ll snap.
Lindsey’s team-mate for this project
is photographer Trish Whillans. Long-time friends and co-workers,
they used to work together on monthly magazines including
Next and Grace (Lindsey as editor and Trish as marketing director).
They’ve already collaborated on one book, about personality
types based on the four elements: The Elemental You: Discover
and Delight in Your Primal Personality.
Says Lindsey: “I love modern life’s
buzz but I also know that being in the bush or on the beach
always has the power to help me any time I feel stressed or
anxious. The Answer is a really easy way to access those calming
vibes and open up to some powerful messages from the natural
world.
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE ANSWER
“Lindsey Dawson has always been in tune
with the zeitgeist. Now, when our lives seem so far removed
from what is natural and real, she has nailed it once again
with this perceptive and clever book. The Answer gives our
daily grind a sense of context and inspires us to strive for
more.”
– Stacy Gregg, editor, runwayreporter.com
“This is a book for our time, a
beautiful little pause in the busyness of our lives to put
everything back in perspective. As always, Lindsey has a fresh
take on modern life and offers the wisdom learned from her
own rich life experience.”
– Brenda Ward, editor, Next magazine
“The fact that nature can heal
is forgotten by many of us. Let this beautiful book serve
as a portal to the natural beauty of our planet. It will restore
you and help you remember who you want to be.”
– Lauren Artress, San Francisco,
author of Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth
as a Spiritual Practice.
