When someone you love is going through a difficult time, what do you say? Despite your best intentions, author Katherine May argues offering help or shying away from tough conversations isn’t as effective as you think. Katherine is the author of the memoir, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times, and its latest companion piece, Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age. Chris and Katherine share how humor may sometimes be a good medicine and how to live alongside life’s difficulties.FollowHost: Chris Duffy (Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrisiduffy/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chrisiduffy</a> | <a href="https://chrisduffycomedy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chrisduffycomedy.com</a>)Guest: Katherine May (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/katherinemay_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@katherinemay_</a> | Website: <a href="https://katherine-may.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">katherine-may.co.uk/</a>)&nbsp;LinksWintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times (<a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/wintering-the-power-of-rest-and-retreat-in-difficult-times-katherine-may/3408348" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UK Bookshop</a> / <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/wintering-the-power-of-rest-and-retreat-in-difficult-times-katherine-may/16519711" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">US & CAN Bookshop</a>)Enchantment: Reawakening Wonder in an Exhausted Age (<a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/enchantment-reawakening-wonder-in-an-exhausted-age-katherine-may/7350453?ean=9780571378357" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UK Bookshop</a> / <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/enchantment-awakening-wonder-in-an-anxious-age-katherine-may/18582677" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">US & CAN Bookshop</a>)Subscribe to TED&nbsp;Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted</a>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @TED</a>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @tedtoks</a>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @ted-conferences</a>Website:<a href="https://ted.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> ted.com</a>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts</a>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://go.ted.com/BHTranscripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">go.ted.com/BHTranscripts</a>For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application:&nbsp;<a href="https://ted.com/ideasearch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/ideasearch</a>.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?
