Description

An illustrated, accessible guide to mindfulness that explores life-improving lessons we can learn from Marvel comics characters as they face tests of perseverance, focus, community, and strength beyond just the physical. Life is full of choices. Like the Hulk, we can smash or choose not to. We can practice flexibility like Mister Fantastic, trust our team like Rocket Racoon, problem-solve like Shuri, and develop awareness like Doctor Strange. Grounded in character and story events drawn from the comics, this inspirational collection pairs Marvel heroes with helpful real-life advice and mindfulness guidance in a light and accessible way. Each entry presents a character spotlight with a way of appreciating their example, a related practice that readers can put into action, and a playful illustration by acclaimed comics artist Jason Loo. Featuring Hawkeye (deep focus), Groot (being who you are), Spider-Man (the gift and obligation of responsibility), Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Captain America, Shang-Chi, and dozens more, Hulk Not Smash makes it easy and fun for fans to incorporate these lessons into their lives.
