Wide Awake — Living Fully While You Can

The Problem

"Life rarely goes wrong all at once. It slips into routine, and the things that matter wait for one day. Research suggests that gentle, deliberate reflection on the time we have tends to sharpen gratitude and clarify priorities, rather than frighten us."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For any adult who feels busy but flat or stuck on autopilot: working, caring, between chapters or retired. Not tied to an age. It sits beside Brave Joy, The Long Bloom and The Story I Leave.

Most of us are busy and mean well, yet many weeks slip past on autopilot. A companion to Jodi Wellman's You Only Die Once, this course uses gentle, deliberate reflection on the time we have as a spark for living more fully now: taking stock, growing your life in width (vitality) and depth (meaning), learning from close calls without a crisis, catching regrets before they form, waking from autopilot, and putting one real thing in your diary.
