What it is

The capybara doesn't rush. The capybara doesn't worry. Maybe the capybara knows something we don't.

The Capybara Guide to Doing Nothing is a fully illustrated adult gift book filled with bite-size lessons in mindfulness, gratitude, simplicity, connecting with nature, creativity, and letting go—all modeled by the world's chillest animal.

Take the nap. Enjoy the coffee. Look at the clouds. Make something just because. Ignore the small dramas. Stop optimizing every minute of your life.

With Lorenza Bernardi's gentle wisdom, Lucia Carlini's warm, expressive illustrations, and a healthy dose of deadpan capybara humor, it's the perfect little book for anyone stressed out, burned out, or ready to embrace the fine art of doing less.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is absolutely nothing.
