About the Book

Twenty-two life lessons inspired by watching birds, written by a French philosopher and ornithologist duo The greatest wisdom comes from the smallest creatures There is so much we can learn from birds. Through twenty-two little lessons of wisdom inspired by how birds live, this charming french book will help you spread your wings and soar. We often need the help from those smaller than us. 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. 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). 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 A little gem. So much wisdom to be drawn from the feathered world of birds A charming, witty and thought-provoking look at the way bird behaviour can both reflect and influence the way we live our lives This little book does a beautiful job of inspiring awe for the capacities of birds and applying lessons from their lives to the struggles of humanity

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
