In this episode of the NPR Life Kit podcast, the conversation centers on shifting our mindset about winter and learning to appreciate the season. Host Kari Leibowitz, author of "How To Winter," shares insights from her research in regions with long, dark winters, where people tend to have a more positive outlook on this time of year. The discussion highlights the value of aligning with winter's natural rhythms—encouraging us to slow down, create cozy spaces, focus on the season's joys, dress appropriately for outdoor activities, and view the darkness as a chance for rest and creativity.
