ReviewsI love this book like I love my closest girlfriends because just like them, it is funny and smart and brave. Like them, it is comfortable with the mess and the vulnerability--in me and in life. Like them, it digs into the details, the nuances of how we forge our paths, the stuff it often seems no one is willing to talk about. Whenever I put it down, I craved going back to it for more mentorship and comfort. It's a truism among us personal-growth writers that everything we are writing about has been written about a thousand times before, but I'm telling you--this book has never been written before. -- Tara Mohr , author of Playing Big: Practical Wisdom for Women Who Want to SpeakUp, Create, and Lead A truly brilliant book. Jennifer Louden is warm, down to earth, and thoroughly practical as she explores the profound question of what matters most to each of us. It's quite stunning how she weaves together personal stories, deep reflections, inspiration, and immediately useful actions. A gem. -- Rick Hanson , PhD, author of Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness I ended my own book with the words, 'Now what?' When I picked up Jennifer Louden's book, I felt as if it were a follow-up to my own question. Why Bother? spoke to me as if I were speaking to myself (in a loving voice, instead of the jerky one) and it has become my guide, my map, my bible, my confidante. I want everyone I know to own a copy as tattered as mine. -- Jennifer Pastiloff , author of On Being Human In Why Bother? Jennifer Louden shows with great honesty that feeling what is ours to feel is how we endure our way into a more authentic dream where who we are is more than enough. Without being prescriptive, this book is a strong and sensitive companion on the path of becoming fully human. It will help you unravel your entanglements and live. -- Mark Nepo , author of Drinking from the River of Light and The Book of Awakening This book is a revelation. Why Bother? woke me up from my creative slumber and revitalized the desire I had pushed to the side in favor of 'getting things done.' Jennifer Louden's words gave language to the areas of my life that felt stagnant, and immediately catapulted me into the action my soul craved. If you've been looking to tap back into your truest desires and deepest purpose so you can craft a life of meaning, this book will help you do exactly that. -- Amber Rae , author of Choose Wonder over Worry: Move beyond Fear and Doubt to Unlock Your Potential Why Bother? is a reclamation. With curiosity, wisdom, reverence, and grace, Jennifer Louden shows us how to transform two simple words from the ultimate expression of futility into a path back to desire and, eventually, meaning. Read it, then live it. -- Jonathan Fields , author and founder of Good Life Project

In Why Bother? personal-growth expert Jennifer Louden challenges you to open your mind, your heart, and your life by following where the question leads. Through reflection and stories from others, Louden demonstrates how to bother when it feels impossible or like too much work, whether after professional defeats, heartbreak, illness, or life-changing loss.

And crucially, she shows you how tapping into your deepest desires can give you the energy to move forward--even when the world seems in such dire straits. It's time to reclaim the dignity and beauty of your desires. It's time to get your bother on., The most important question you'll ever ask yourself. In Why Bother? personal growth expert Jennifer Louden challenges you to open your mind, your heart, and your life by following where the question leads. Through reflection and stories from others, Louden shows that asking "why bother?" is natural and inevitable, and can bring you to a place of increased vitality, true satisfaction, and deeper meaning. Louden demonstrates why it's important to bother after creative faceplants, professional defeats, heartbreak, illness, and loss. She shows why you're worth prioritizing at any time of your life, even after sidelining your dreams to raise kids, pay the rent, or take care of aging parents. And -- crucially -- she shows you how tapping into your deepest desires can give you the energy to move forward -- even when the world seems in such dire straits. After all, 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., "Why bother?" can be the most important question you'll ever ask yourself. After a few hellish years that included grief and divorce, personal growth expert Jen Louden found herself at an all-time low and asked herself, "Why bother?" This question dragged her down into meaninglessness until a scary coincidence snapped her awake and got her wondering: what if "why bother?" was actually a fierce and loving question to kick-start the next phase of her life? Jen found that "why bother?" is the essential question every woman must answer for herself. If you can't pretend anymore, it's the question you need to ask. How do we bother after heartbreak, after career and creative defeats, after giving up our own dreams to raise kids or take care of a sick parent? How do we bother when our lives have always been about doing the right thing, but never doing our thing? And what do we do after we've checked off most of the boxes on life's accomplishment list, and don't know if we have energy for anything more? Jen shows that "why bother?" is not a cynical or ungrateful question, but can crack open your mind, your heart, and your life. She guides you as you follow where the question leads, as no one wants the alternative--giving up, shutting down, or phoning it in. In this essential guide for all women, Jen Louden shows you why now is the perfect time to get your "why bother?" on.
