10-30-18 - Janeane spoke with ANNE LAMOTT, The beloved, bestselling author shares newest book, Almost Everything: Notes on Hope

“Every writer, truth-seeker, parent, and activist I know is in love with one or more books by

Anne Lamott… [S]he writes as naturally as she breathes, she explores the mysterious paths

and detours of life itself, and she reports back to make the way ahead easier for all of us.”

—Gloria Steinem, Cosmopolitan

What does hope look like? How do we find and hold onto it in the midst of personal turmoil, communal suffering, global chaos, and the everyday challenges of being alive in this world? Enter the profoundly wise and compassionate Anne Lamott, whose “words heal us all” (Associated Press). ALMOST EVERYTHING: Notes on Hope is an exploration of hope and the place it holds in our lives. Marvelously candid and remarkably perceptive, Lamott shares truths she has learned along the way (“almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you”), offering compelling lessons through memorable storytelling and mixing humor with piercing insight. As Maria Popova says, “Anne Lamott embraces language and life with equal zest, squeezing from the intersection wisdom of the most soul-stretching kind” (Brainpickings).
