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.

Reviews

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. So much wisdom to be drawn from the feathered world of birds
*Raynor Winn, bestselling author of THE SALT PATH*

A charming, witty and thought-provoking look at the way bird behaviour can both reflect and influence the way we live our lives
*Stephen Moss (Naturalist and author)*

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
*Wall Street Journal*
