In today's episode, I talk with Linda Åkeson McGurk, a Swedish-American freelance writer and author who believes life is better outside.
Her first book, There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom’s Secret for Raising Healthy, Resilient and Confident Children, was published by Touchstone/S&S in October 2017 to critical acclaim.
Linda came on the podcast to talk about her new book Open Air Life, which focuses on the Nordic art of Frilutsliv and embracing nature every day.
Friluftsliv can be as simple as an evening walk around the neighborhood or as advanced as a multiday backpacking expedition in the remote wilderness or anything in between. In THE OPEN-AIR LIFE (11/1/22, Hardcover, TarcherPerigee) Swedish-American writer Linda Åkeson McGurk shares the 10 principles of this Nordic secret and explains how unplugging and connecting more deeply with nature can improve mental and physical health, relationships, and general well-being.
During our conversation, I asked Linda about Friluftsliv—what it is and why you should embrace it as a part of everyday life—and about my favorite parts of the book and how I found myself implementing things I read almost immediately as they were not only so valuable but so easy to embrace as a way of life.
For country and city lovers alike, this book will serve as an essential guide to slowing down in this modern, fast-paced society and connecting with the natural world. You can order your copy of Open Air Life here.
