In this book, Seth Adam Smith expands on the philosophy behind his extraordinarily popular blog post "Marriage Isn't for You" -- which received over 30 million hits and has been translated into
over twenty languages -- and shares how living for others can
enrich every aspect of your life, just as it has his. With a mix
of humor, candor, and compassion, he reveals how, years before his marriage, his self-obsession led to a downward spiral of addiction and depression, culminating in a suicide attempt at the age of twenty. Reflecting on the love and support he experienced in the aftermath, as well as on the lessons he learned from a difficult
missionary stint in Russia, his time as a youth leader in the
Arizona desert, his marriage, and even a story his father read to
him as a child, he shares his deep conviction that the only way
you can find your life is to give it away to others. pub date: 2014-09-22 | paperback | 9781626560956 |
