Reviews
"Your Life Isn't For You" by Seth Adam Smith is a small, easy to read but powerful book full of positive messages. It is lighthearted and filled with important life lessons aimed to give readers a heightened sense of self awareness." --Book Examiner "The book is distinguished by his candor. He tells you that your life is about being of service to others in countless ways and thus the title becomes clear. If you feel you're encountering problems because of your own selfish attitudes or behavior, I strongly recommend you read his book." --Book Views "...One of those books that readers will be able to go back to time and again to remind themselves what can happen in life and how good life can be if lived for others." --Blog Critics and Seattle Post Intelligencer "A brilliantly written and insightful book. Seth's vulnerability and honesty are irresistible--pulling you in and opening your heart to the possibility of a life without walls." --Michael J. Merchant, President, ANASAZI Foundation "Seth's amazing book illustrates a powerful and proven path to happiness and gently reminds us how easily we forget this profound truth: focusing on others brings the deepest joy." --Lindsay Hadley, founder and CEO, Hadley Impact Consulting "Seth Adam Smith has figured out some of life's greatest lessons through remarkable life experiences and by listening to the great teachers that were placed in his path." --Sterling C. Tanner, President and Executive Director, Forever Young Foundation, "A brilliantly written and insightful book.

Synopsis
Give Your Life to Live Your Life In this book, Seth Adam Smith expands on the philosophy behind his extraordinarily popular blog post "Marriage Isn't for You"-which received over 30 million hits and has been translated into over twenty languages-and shares how living for others can enrich every aspect of your life, just as it has his. With a mix of humor, candor, and compassion, he reveals how, years before his marriage, his self-obsession led to a downward spiral of addiction and depression, culminating in a suicide attempt at the age of twenty. Reflecting on the love and support he experienced in the aftermath, as well as on the lessons he learned from a difficult missionary stint in Russia, his time as a youth leader in the Arizona desert, his marriage, and even a story his father read to him as a child, he shares his deep conviction that the only way you can find your life is to give it away to others. Your Life Isn't For You was recently named the Gold Medalist for Inspirational Memoir in the 2015 Living Now Book Awards!, In this inspiring, funny, and moving book - a welcome antidote to the modern obsession with self - Seth Adam Smith shows how his philosophy of living for others can enrich every aspect of your life, just as it has his. He writes not as an expert but as a flawed human being sharing what he's learned - and learned the hard way., "The message of this book is important to all ages. Living for others makes one's own life more meaningful . . . a great book with a great message." -- SeattlePI In this book, Seth Adam Smith expands on the philosophy behind his extraordinarily popular blog post "Marriage Isn't for You"--which received over thirty million hits and has been translated into over twenty languages--and shares how living for others can enrich every aspect of your life, just as it has his.

- 2***e (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe seller was great to work with and stayed in communication with me throughout this purchase. The item had been delayed in delivery for about a month and just as the seller was about to send out a replacement, the original item was located and I received it shortly thereafter. The packaging was still in good condition after being in transit for an extended period of time. The book was brand new and exactly as described. I would definitely do business with this seller again!
