Blinkist summary<\/a> of Book by<\/em> <\/em><\/a>Anne Lamott<\/em><\/a>, 2021 – <\/em>BOOKS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anne Lamott is the New York Times bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow; Small Victories; Stitches; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; Traveling Mercies; Bird by Bird; Operating Instructions, and the forthcoming Hallelujah Anyway. She is also the author of several novels, including Imperfect Birds and Rosie. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame, she lives in Northern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Dusk, Night, Dawn, Anne Lamott explores the tough questions that many of us grapple with. How can we recapture the <\/em>confidence <\/em><\/strong>we once had as we stumble through the dark times that seem increasingly bleak? As bad news piles up – from climate crises to daily assaults on civility – how can we <\/em>cope<\/em><\/strong>? Where, she asks, \u201cdo we start to get our world and <\/em>joy <\/em><\/strong>and <\/em>hope <\/em><\/strong>and our <\/em>faith in life<\/em><\/strong> itself back . . . with our sore feet, hearing loss, stiff fingers, poor digestion, stunned minds, broken hearts?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We begin, Lamott says, by <\/em>accepting <\/em><\/strong>our <\/em>flaws <\/em><\/strong>and <\/em>embracing <\/em><\/strong>our <\/em>humanity<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing from her own experiences, Lamott shows us the intimate and human ways we can adopt to move through life\u2019s dark places and toward the light of hope that still burns ahead for all of us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she does in Help, Thanks, Wow and her other bestselling books, Lamott explores the thorny issues of life and faith by breaking them down into manageable, human-sized <\/em>questions <\/em><\/strong>for readers to ponder, in the process showing us how we can amplify life’s small moments of joy by staying <\/em>open <\/em><\/strong>to <\/em>love <\/em><\/strong>and <\/em>connection<\/em><\/strong>. As Lamott notes in Dusk, Night, Dawn, \u201cI got Medicare three days before I got hitched, which sounds like something an old person might do, which does not describe adorably ageless me.\u201d Marrying for the first time with a grown son and a grandson, Lamott explains that finding happiness with a partner isn’t a function of age or beauty but of outlook and perspective.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full of the honesty, humor, and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Dusk, Night, Dawn is classic Anne Lamott – thoughtful and comic, warm and wise – and further proof that Lamott truly speaks to the better angels in all of us<\/em>.\u201d Amazon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dusk, Night, Dawn (2021)<\/em> is an exploration of the worries and anxieties that keep us up at night. During dark times, it sometimes gets hard to find a reason to keep going. Here you will find help to point you in the right direction, toward hope, self-acceptance, and peace.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
