A joyously cathartic and deeply spiritual road trip for readers of Anne Lamott, Elizabeth Gilbert, Pema Chodron, and Brene¿ Brown. Feeling stuck? You're not alone. In or out of a relationship, job hunting or retiring, in a life transition, or wrestling with Big Questions, a joyful life can feel elusive. After two decades offering motivation, inspiration, support, and problem-solving as a life coach and in her Ask Your Jewish Fairy Godmother column, Helen Rosenau embraces the deeper, more complex struggles of fellow messy humans. This book will help you find joy in the journey of change. Through stories from her life and advice columns, plus insights, writing prompts, coaching, and cheerleading, Rosenau walks the walk towards self-knowing with you. She'll help you get brave enough to risk change, toss old crap that keeps you from making progress, and create more happiness in your life. You deserve more joy. The Messy Joys of Being Human offers you tools to create it-because life will always be a glorious mess and you will always be beautifully human. Are you ready?
