Every day, we hear about and experience griefs, large and small, in our families, friendships, communities, and worldwide. The grief of a loved one passing. The grief of a way of life ceasing to exist. The grief of global pandemic, war, climate collapse. In The Snag, the acclaimed author of Shame On Me, Tessa McWatt, takes on personal and collective grief, and climate change, in her much-anticipated second nonfiction book. As her mother's dementia advances and it becomes apparent that she can no longer live independently, Tessa considers griefs personal and political, and finds solace in trees. She asks: How do we grieve? And: What can we learn from nature and those whose communities are rooted in nature about how to grieve - and how to live?From the newest seedling, to the oldest snag in the forest, there is meaning to be found in every stage of a tree's life, all of which contribute to a thriving forest community; it is in this metaphor that Tessa begins to find answers to her questions about how to live (for each other), how to grieve (radically), and how to die (with love and connection). The Snag is an essential book about living and dancing and singing and praying, even in the face of unimaginable sadness, and in this way, growing together and supporting one another, like the trees in the forest.

Here are the key takeaways and solutions from each chapter, emphasizing the dual responsibility of personal actions and systemic changes needed to address the current challenges: Key Actions for Individuals: Adopt a Healthy Diet (Food as Medicine): Choose whole foods, reduce processed food intake, and focus on a plant-based, nutrient-rich diet. This approach can prevent and even reverse many chronic conditions.Incorporate Regular Movement (Rethinking Exercise): Make physical activity a daily habit, whether through walking, stretching, or functional exercises. Consistency, rather than intensity, is key to reaping the benefits of regular movement.Prioritize Mental Health: Practice mindfulness, meditation, and seek support when needed. Mental well-being is foundational to overall health, and addressing stress and anxiety can lead to better physical health outcomes.Engage in Preventive Healthcare: Regular check-ups and screenings are vital for early detection and prevention of disease. Take charge of your health by staying informed and proactive about your healthcare needs.Build Strong Social Connections: Strengthen ties with family, friends, and community groups.

Use your voice to support better access to healthcare and policies that prioritize preventive care.Key Actions for Government and Communities: Reform Healthcare Policy for Prevention: Shift focus from reactive treatment to preventive care. Policies should prioritize early interventions, lifestyle education, and access to primary care, reducing the burden of chronic diseases.Promote Access to Healthy Food: Implement policies that make nutritious foods more affordable and accessible, particularly in food deserts. Support local farming, improve food labeling, and incentivize healthier food options in schools and public institutions.Invest in Urban Planning for Active Living: Design walkable cities with accessible green spaces, bike lanes, and safe recreational areas. By creating environments that encourage physical activity, communities can foster healthier lifestyles.Address Mental Health at the Policy Level: Increase funding for mental health services and integrate mental health care into primary care settings. Public awareness campaigns can help reduce stigma and encourage people to seek the help they need.Combat Health Misinformation: Launch educational campaigns to provide accurate, evidence-based information on health topics, including the risks and benefits of vaccinations. Support health literacy programs to help the public make informed decisions.Support Health Equity Initiatives: Tackle systemic health disparities by improving access to quality healthcare, nutritious food, and safe environments, especially in underserved communities. Policies should address the social determinants of health to ensure fair opportunities for all.Promote Sustainable Health Practices: Implement environmental policies that reduce pollution and support sustainable farming.

'A very special book that I enjoyed enormously' Cees NooteboomSoon after Henk Pröpper moves from Amsterdam to Paris, both the world and his heart almost come to a full stop. He undergoes major surgery and awakes in an empty city during lockdown. Paris is transformed into an abandoned stage and to quicken his recovery, Pröpper begins walking. He combs his immediate surroundings, he hunts for the past, discovering countless commemorative plaques and monuments that honour well- and lesser-known Parisians and keep their histories alive. He reflects on his life and the literature that has shaped him, walking in the footsteps of literary heroes such as Victor Hugo, of Balzac and of Camus.27 Beats Per Minute is a moving ode to life, literature and Paris, a city that even in emptiness is always magnificent.'One of the most moving and most invigorating autobiographies ever written. This is a finely polished gem worthy of admiration' Knack'Philosophical, reflective, and with the pleasantly slow heartbeat of a writer who carries the reader through the city, European literature and history' het Parool
