You Already Know

Description

Don’t buy your 2027 planner yet.

First, ask yourself whether you’re planning a life you actually want.

You Already Know: Twelve Immortal Conversations About Being Human is a thought-provoking collection of twelve modern fables inspired by Greek mythology, exploring identity, ambition, fear, self-trust and the consequences of choosing the life you want.

What if Hestia challenged you to remember who you are beneath everyone else’s expectations? What if Artemis led you into the wilderness of your own decisions? What if the Oracle at Delphi confronted you with the truth you’ve been avoiding?

As it turns out, immortality doesn’t make you any better at being human. But the gods have a few things to say about the lives we lead, the choices we make, and our rather unfortunate habit of getting in our own way.

• Who are you when you strip away what other people expect of you?

• What do you actually want, and what might choosing it cost?

• How do you keep moving forward when life doesn’t turn out as planned?

A book to return to, year after year.

At the end of each fable, you’ll find questions to take with you. Answer them in a journal, discuss them with someone you love, or simply let them sit with you for a while.

Return to those same questions next year, and the year after that. Notice which answers have changed, which dreams you’ve outgrown, and which truths you’ve finally found the courage to act upon.

Because the person you are today won’t be quite the same person reading this book five years from now.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Greek mythology with a modern, philosophical twist

• Thought-provoking fiction, self-reflection and intentional living

• Books such as Meditations and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

You don’t have to reinvent yourself to begin a new chapter. Sometimes, you simply need to understand the one you’re already living.
