ALL HEART –
Apr. 2024 – Every time I talk with Anne Lamott, I just feel like I’ve been embraced by kindness, humility, love and a whole lot of laughter.
Anne is a multi-time New York Times bestselling author whose latest book, Somehow: Thoughts on Love, offers profound yet practical wisdom that can help transform our lives. In our conversation, she shares insights from her seven decades of living, loving, and learning as she turns 70 and releases her 20th book, rich with stories, humor, reverence, love and insights, told in a way only Anne can do.
Despite her success, she describes herself as an “unlikely elder” who has accumulated a lifetime’s worth of insight through her experiences. In Somehow, Anne compiles her most important learnings on love and leaves them as a parting gift to her son and grandson. She explores the power of compassion, community, and our inner lives to anchor us through life’s turbulence. Anne’s wisdom is humble yet illuminating, blending wit and candor that speaks to the shared human experience. And she shares a deeply moving story about how her dad, in his final months, became her makeshift first-reader and editor for a book that told her side of their shared story.
