--Carol Dweck, renowned psychologist and bestselling author of Mindset "
How to Winter is one of the most fascinating and transformative books I've read in a long time.

This is a stunning debut from a major new thinker."
--Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive, and The Power of Regret "In this delightful and original book, Kari Leibowitz convincingly argues that in learning to love winter we can gain a deeper insight into the ability of our mindset to control our reality."
--Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity and Deep Work "The perfect mix of science, story-telling, and practical advice,
How to Winter is not just a guide to finding joy and wonder in winter--it's also a truly life-changing education about human nature and psychology. It's a book that will help you find magic and meaning in everyday life and one you'll want to give to the people you love."

This is a must-read for anyone who loves winter -- and anyone who hates it."
