Publisher's summary

Participating in psychedelic ceremonies with shamans from the Amazon. Diving headfirst into rituals at Burning Man. Flying across the world to work with spiritual gurus in Bali. These were never on Doug Cartwright’s radar as “must-have” experiences, but when you’re a 20-something ex-Mormon ex-millionaire living deeply unfulfilled after doing everything you were “supposed to", you start searching for a normal reality far from your original version.

This book is Doug’s story, a psychedelic journey into meditation, silent retreats, astrophysics, neuroscience, philosophy, and all forms of self-healing. It’s how he found the purpose of life, realized his mistakes, and built a new reality. Doug’s story is how he shifted his perspective on life - and it’s how you can learn to shift yours. In Holy Sh!t We’re Alive, Doug shows you how to live with intention, trust yourself, and show up every day for a meaningful life. You’ll learn mind-blowing facts and important clues to understand your existence and unique contributions. Self-love can be your superpower. No matter who you are or where you’ve been, this book gives you permission - and motivation - to do the work and throw out the garbage holding you back so you, too, can maximize your human experience.

Very very interesting because he speaks in normal terms and relatable experiences.

Doug does an incredible job of relating to all of us in this book. This isn’t a ra ra ra personal help book but a real story that we can all relate to. I think it helps others and especially me realize the bigger picture and not worry about our daily fears that drive us. Instead let those things that come natural drive and influence us. Loved it!

Holy Sh!t this book rocks

First of all, Doug’s brother does an incredible job narrating this book. On. Point.
Secondly, Doug’s personal accounts of his own path truly resonated with me . And his honesty and vulnerability about his family, religion, and insecurities really brought his message to life.
What. A. Trip.
He touches on so many critical pieces of his journey, including psychedelics, mentors, entrepreneurship, love, trauma, and a connection to the Source.
Well-written. Inspiring. Thoughtful and impactful.

Incredible insight in area of self discovery

I finished this book in ONE setting. Doug talks about topics that are so crucial and obvious yet no one talks about them. His journey of self discovery is inspiring and beautiful. Very eye opening book. Everyone needs to read this.

Recommend for anyone looking for fulfillment

I loved this book. Recently I have been on a more spiritual path and looking for the meaning in life. This book tells a story that all the money & things in the world won’t make you happy. You have to make yourself happy.

Listened to it 3 times

I felt really connected to this author. Like he had lived all of my insecurities and seemingly has moved past them in a way that I am currently trying to. Book was referred to me by my therapist.

MUST READ or LISTEN

My girls recommended this book to me and I was on a long drive and it’s just what MY soul needed… what a recharge and a beautiful perspective… I’m an active member of the LDS church and I find even more beauty in those who live an authentic life… Thank YOU Doug for being vulnerable & Brave to share… It’s a great perspective to the Laws of the Universe & the Grace & Love God has for ALL his children… I was so intrigued I downloaded the daily shifts app & only two days in I am in better harmony with ME ❤️ It’s a MUST have ⭐️🙏⭐️
