How To Be Here

Description

How can I slow down and enjoy life more? Discover the greatness you were born for, successfully pursue your dreams, find your path, and live a confident, fulfilled life. Rob Bell believes that each of us has a path, a calling whether it's writing a novel, starting a business, joining a band, or simply becoming a volunteer. But many people are afraid to start on that path. Who are we to do that? Bell counters, Why not you? We need to learn to turn off the internal and external critics and leap. The universe is alive to help us. And we can only discover passion and joy after we take off. Interweaving engaging stories; lessons from Biblical figures; science, art, and business; honest personal experience; and practical advice, he offers invaluable insight on how to silence our critics, move from idea to action, take the first step, find joy in the work, persevere through hard times, and surrender the outcome. Combining the practical inspiration of Stephen Pressfield's 'The War of Art' and the warm instructional insight of Annie Lamott's 'Bird By Bird', 'How To Be Here' encourages us to leave boring behind and embrace the fulfilling lives we are meant to have.

Rob Bell is the bestselling author of Love Wins, Velvet Elvis, Sex God, Jesus Wants to Save Christians, Drops Like Stars, and What We Talk About When We Talk About God. An international teacher and speaker, he was profiled in The New Yorker and TIME magazine, which named him one of 2011's hundred most influential people.
