This is Lamott's latest book, released in April 2024. She poignantly discusses the importance of love in all realms of our lives and how some people carry this wonderful superpower—although she claims that her own superpower is charm. Lamott has so many words of wisdom in this book that I've dog-eared. For example, the idea that elders teach us how to be patient, while children teach us how to be young. I never thought of it this way, but it's so very true!
She writes about something I often advocate for: humans are meant to be connected, and we cannot spread love unless we connect. "Eighty percent of any meeting or gathering might be stupid and beneath you, but the other twenty percent will save you: it will open up your brain and expand your life and give you connection, a place in the family of [hu]man. And this is salvation." (p. 121)
This is a quick and inspiring read I highly recommended, especially if you've been following Lamott since her classic, Bird By Bird. (1994)
