Weird Is Beautiful: The Wisdom of Octopuses
(eBook)
Think like you've got nine brains, feel like you've got three hearts, and hug as though you have eight arms. Wisdom begins in wonder: and there is no creature so weird and wonderful as the octopus. Wise, compassionate, strong yet adaptable - and with Houdini-like vanishing tricks - octopuses are the most fascinating creatures on the planet. They provide a masterclass in self-care and there is so much we can learn from them. With the help of Weird Is Beautiful you will discover: - When to be strong, and when to be flexible- How to sift through the flotsam and jetsam of your life to find the pearls you should cling to- How camouflage can be self-care, but when you should let your true colours shine!- How to multi-task, even when you don't have eight arms- When to allow the currents of the ocean to sweep you along, and when to stick your tentacles to the rocks and resist- How to live wild, weird and free Who said life above water can't sparkle? - On-trend gift book for fans of Other Minds, the Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher or the reversible octopus plush toy that went viral on TikTok - Peppered with fascinating facts, quirky observations and beautiful watercolour illustrations - With conservation high on the global agenda, this book taps into the ways in which our lives are intertwined and enriched by our environment - Appealing to the same market as the hugely successful The Little Book of Animal Philosophy books (Sloth, Alpaca and Otter) Competition: Other Minds;The Soul of an Octopus;Underwater Wild;Octopus;The Ocean of Life;The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy;The Little Book of Otter Philosophy;.
