Almost Everything: Notes on Hope by Anne Lamott
5.0
I often try so hard to not love Anne Lamott books. Everyone loves them, right? And if that is the case then I shouldn't just on principle. But the moment I start reading anything she has written I DO love Anne Lamott - and this book is no exception.
Her ability to acknowledge the crummy dark exterior world and our own swirl of human emotions while holding that in tension with light and hope and humor is the perfect mix. While easy to read, deep concepts seem to sneak up and work their way deep into my psyche along the way.
My favorite chapter is easily Chapter Four: Unplugged. "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." End of chapter!
