A Safe Place to Reflect & Evaluate

I enjoyed listening to the author himself via the Audiobook! Through his reflections, I noticed myself reflecting on my own life. Faolan’s story is empowering and extremely well written. I especially enjoyed his poetry throughout the book, as well as quotes from his journal. His vulnerable stories allowed me to become more vulnerable with myself and more truthfully reflect on my own life. I am eager to read more stories by Faolan in the future.

Excellent read

Highly recommend the Audible version- it reads like a radiolab storytelling- terribly truthful and incredibly intimate view of an introspective journey

You deserve to read this book

Why Live takes you on a journey of self reflection through a mirror Faolan Sugarman-Lash holds up for you. You unmistakably see yourself in Sugarman-Lash as he grapples with questions around depression, relationships, addiction, death, trauma, divinity, and growth. Sugarman-Lash’s Covenant of the Magnolia Tree is inscribed in my heart as one of the most worthwhile commitments to self I’ve ever read. This book helped me begin the practice of loving myself in every choice I make. Among the many books on growth and self-love I’ve read, this memoir-style one reads like a breath of fresh air. The truisms Sugarman-Lash brings to light gives language to our reality, particularly for those of us who are inheriting a broken world from the generations before us. This book is inspirational, relatable, transformational, and refreshingly honest. If you need a boost of self-love in your life, read this book.
