CARE: The radical art of taking time

“Ram Dass once wrote, ‘We’re all just walking each other home,’ and while I think that’s beautiful and true, I also think it’s what we do on the way that matters.”

Have you ever found yourself feeling ‘cared out’? So overwhelmed and exhausted by the big, important issues facing the world, that you turn inwards in despair?

In Care: The Radical Art of Taking Time Brooke McAlary explores what it means to care in smaller ways — for ourselves, our loved ones and our communities — and discovers along the way that caring doesn't need to cost us.

By spending more time in nature, putting down our devices and connecting face-to-face, finding awe and wonder in the world and remembering how to play, we can create ripples that reach far beyond our own corner of the planet. We only need to cast our eyes forward and start small, with care.

CARE is available at all good bookstores in Australia and NZ, and online worldwide:
