Fat Bear Self-Care: Life Lessons from Nature's Lovable Chonks

Fat bears know a thing or two about going with the flow--and now you can share in the wisdom of these lovable chonks with soothing affirmations for when you could use a little hibernation of your own.

Each year, the bears of Alaska fatten up, eating as much salmon as is bear-ly possible. All summer, they sit patiently--or, in some cases, not so patiently--by the water, waiting to catch incoming fish. By the beginning of fall, they are at their peak form, perfectly plump, unbothered, and ready for the winter hibernation. What could be more #goals?

But they can't get to that place overnight, and we humans can learn a lot from the philosophy they demonstrate along the way: patience, skill, cooperation, negotiation, and more. This little book pairs fat bears with words of wisdom and bear knowledge, and serves as a useful reminder that good things come to those who wait, self-care can be as simple as splooting out, and it's always worth taking time to enjoy the view.
