It is getting dark over the mountain lake; the passing winter freezes the quiet northern land. A little boy dressed in fur, girded with a sword decorated with a raven head, struggles with uneven terrain, mud, and unbearable load - the remains of his father - Edsgar, the mighty warrior of the Great North. A stream of white light splashes from the sky to the funeral pyre. A ringing sound fills everything around. It is as if billions of metal particles are sprinkled on a steel shield. Edsgar bids farewell to Erik, the lovely Valkyries take on the spirit of the warrior, and he flies with them to the gates of Valhalla to take ... |

From the author of "How to break up with your phone". If you're not having fun, you're not fully living. The author of "How to Break Up with Your Phone" makes the case that, far from being frivolous, fun is actually critical to our well-being and shows us how to have more of it. Journalist and screen-life balance expert Catherine Price argues persuasively that our always-on, tech-addicted lifestyles have led us to obsess over intangible concepts such as happiness while obscuring the fact that real happiness lies in the everyday experience of fun. We often think of fun as indulgent, even ... |
