The answers changed her life and led to this new kind of book. Part meditation, part how-to guide, part memoir, "Life is a Verb" is all heart. Within these pages--enhanced by original artwork and wide, inviting margins ready to be written in--Digh identifies six core practices to jump-start a meaningful life: Say Yes, Trust Yourself, Slow Down, Be Generous, Speak Up, and Love More. Within this framework she supplies 37 edgy, funny, and literary life stories, each followed by a "do it now" 10-minute exercise as well as a practice to try for 37 days--and perhaps the rest of your life. |
