A quick message on launch day
The Life Audit hits shelves today 💗
Hi friends,
Today’s the day! Nearly ten years since the day it was first born as an off-the-cuff blog post on Medium, The Life Audit book is officially in stores.
Launching a book into the world is a privilege and a fright. Seeing something you’ve created in other people’s hands is one of the best feelings in the world. I don’t take it for granted that I get to write books, or that people will keep reading, especially in this attention economy. Readers like you have so much you could be focusing on at any given moment—to stop and read my book is a tremendous gift.
Putting yourself out there, in any field or endeavor, can be scary. Will people like it? Will they think it’s silly? What if—worst of all—no one even cares? The doubts will always be there, but as every writer knows, you have to work against them. I write books because I really believe in what I write—and I only write when I think I can be helpful in some way.
The Life Audit is a method I know can help a lot of people. For ten years, it has helped readers reconnect with their core values and find clarity, purpose, and meaning in their lives. Today, I hope this expanded edition of The Life Audit, including prompts for self-reflection and a dedicated action-planning section, can help you unearth your innermost wishes and desires and chart a path forward to make those dreams come true.
Order at Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Bookshop | Community Bookstore (signed copies) and beyond
Whether you’re at a personal crossroads, feeling particularly introspective, or have a friend or family member in your life who could use a little more direction and guidance, I hope The Life Audit can help you and your loved ones find your way.
It’s an honor to be in your inbox and on your shelves.
With love and thanks,
Ximena
Thank you, Ximena!! I have such respect for you and your work. I absolutely loved “Listen Like You Mean It.” I do The Artist’s Way and morning pages--and imagine this would be a great addition to those practices! Can’t wait!
