About this title

Synopsis:

The new book from the author of The Art of Doing Nothing and The Art of Imperfection celebrates the journey into adulthood, reminding us how to feel young while appreciating the wisdom and confidence we acquire with time. In The Art of Growing Up, Veronique Vienne's wise and witty essays encourage us to delight in the gift of knowing at last who we are and having the freedom to live accordingly. Paired with sumptuous and evocative photography, Vienne's essays consider the art of lightening up, the art of brushing off birthdays, and the art of choosing your battles. Youth, as we're reminded every day, certainly has its charms. But The Art of Growing Up reminds us that time is a give-and-take affair, and a lot of what it takes we're well rid of, while much of what it gives is to be savoured and cherished.
