How to Winter

by Kari Leibowitz

Health psychologist Kari Leibowitz moved to Tromsø, Norway, more than 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, expecting to study how people endure two months without sun. Instead she found residents who looked forward to winter. Drawing on her research into the wintertime mindset and on travels to cold places from Iceland to Japan, she sets out practical ways to treat winter as a season to enjoy rather than endure.
