Jennifer Louden

Why bother reading this book? Because you'll answer the most important question of your life. How do you bother after heartbreak, after professional defeats, after loss, after sidelining your dreams to raise kids or take care of aging parents? How do you move forward when your to-do list is checked off--and you can't find the energy for more? And why does anything you do matter when the world seems in such dire straits? Personal-growth expert Jennifer Louden faced these questions after a few hellish years that included grief, creative faceplants, and divorce. "Why bother?" she asked herself, as she spun into a good old-fashioned existential crisis. That question dragged her down into meaninglessness--until a scary coincidence jolted her awake. What if she actually tried to answer the question? Jennifer realized "why bother?" is not cynical or ungrateful, but a challenge to open your mind, your heart, and your life. In her latest, most profound book yet, Jennifer guides you as you follow where the question leads, as no one wants the alternative--giving up, shutting down, or phoning it in. It's time to reclaim the dignity and beauty of your desires. It's time to get your bother on.
