Life is messy. It isn't a color within the lines exercise. It's a wild and outrageous invitation full of uncertain outcomes. The mess of life is both inevitable and unexpected. It is filled with delightful mysteries and frustrating predicaments. In our disposable culture, we throw broken things away. So, what will we do with broken people, broken relationships, broken institutions, broken families, and of course, our very own broken selves? We are all broken and wounded.

Story
Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

Resisting Happiness

Story
Are you happy? It may be the wrong question. Most of us think we are relatively happy, while at the same time knowing that we could be happier - maybe even a lot happier. Resisting Happiness is a deeply personal, disarmingly transparent look at why we sabotage our own happiness and what to do about it. Breaking through resistance, Kelly tells us, is essential to becoming the person that God created us to be. What is resistance? It's that sluggish feeling of not wanting to do something that you know is good for you.

Every Sentence Counts
For many this book will be the spark to make changes to live a more fulfilling life. For some this book will be a reminder of what they have set forward and done or set forward and stopped, while flooding new ideas, creating better habits while listening.
Do what you love makes every sentence count, like boxing there are jabs, hooks, uppercuts, and positioning and it feels similar to the Author's approach, there is never any fluff, every sentence is impactful keeping me present and engaged where normally with 23+ hour books I'm tuning in and out.

One if the best books I’ve listen to/read in a long time
Kate Volman knows what she’s taking about. The advice in her book is some of the best. Following your passions really will make you happier, more fulfilled and jumpstart the next chapter in your life. Doing what you love makes you feel good, and it starts to open opportunities that weren’t there before because you weren’t ready for them. Kates voice is energetic and inspirational! Must read or listen!

Inspiring and Action-Oriented
Listening to Kate Volman's book, Do What You Love, inspired me to get my Nikon camera out and go into nature to shoot a few photos. It's been at least three years since I did this. It reminded me to take some time to slow down and also step back into something that I'm really passionate about and have been since a young child.
Incorporating that in on a monthly basis will inspire me to be more creative in the work that I do and take more time to explore outdoor areas or parks to hike and shoot new photos.
Thank you, Kate!
