520 "After surviving a difficult heartbreak and battle with
cancer, Julia Baird began to explore how she and others
persevere through the most challenging circumstances life
throws at us. She asks: when our world goes dark, when we
are overwhelmed by illness or heartbreak, loss or pain,
tragedy outside our control, how do we survive, stay alive
and even bloom? She went in search of "the magic that will
sustain us and fuel the light within - our own
phosphorescence ". Phosphorescence can be found in nature
- in glow worms, fireflies, flashlight fish,
bioluminescent oceans; it is a phenomenon that allows
creatures to give off light amidst darkness. Baird writes
about the things that lit her way through the darkness: a
connection to nature, friendships, her faith, experiencing
awe, and other habits that changed her life. She also goes
in search of how others nurture their inner light,
interviewing the founder of the modern forest therapy
movement in Tokyo, a jellyfish scientist in Tasmania, and
a tattooed priest from Colorado, among others. Weaving
together candid memoir with research and reflections on
nature, Baird inspires readers to embrace new habits and
adopt a phosphorescent outlook on life, to illuminate our
days even in the darkest times"--|cProvided by publisher.
