A Short Philosophy of Birds - Philippe J. Dubois, Elise Rousseau

The perfect stocking filler for anyone who loves the wonder of nature* The greatest wisdom comes from the smallest creatures There is so much we can learn from birds. We often need the help from those smaller than us. Through twenty-two little lessons of wisdom inspired by how birds live, this charming french book will help you spread your wings and soar.

Along the way you'll discover why the robin is braver than the eagle, what the arctic tern can teach us about the joy of travel, and whether the head or the heart is the best route to love (as shown by the mallard and the penguin). Having spent a lifetime watching birds, Philippe and lise - a French ornithologist and a philosopher - draw out the secret lessons that birds can teach us about how to live, and the wisdom of the natural world. By the end you will feel more in touch with the rhythms of nature and have a fresh perspective on how to live the fullest life you can.Review "Brilliant, magical and engrossing – I will never see birds the same way again" (Peter Wohlleben, bestselling author of THE HIDDEN LIFE OF TREES) "A little gem.
