The Book of Help by Megan Griswold
LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSLLER * WINNER OF THE NAUTILUS BOOK AWARD * "In a world full of spiritual seekers, Megan Griswold is an undisputed all-star. What a delightful journey!"--Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Magic and Eat, Pray, LoveThe Book of Help traces one woman's life-long quest for love, connection, and peace of mind. A heartbreakingly vulnerable and tragically funny memoir-in-remedies, Megan Griswold's narrative spans four decades and six continents--from the glaciers of Patagonia and the psycho-tropics of Brazil, to academia, the Ivy League, and the study of Eastern medicine.
Megan was born into a family who enthusiastically embraced the offerings of New Age California culture--at seven she asked Santa for her first mantra and by twelve she was taking weekend workshops on personal growth. But later, when her newly-wedded husband calls in the middle of the night to say he's landed in jail, Megan must accept that her many certificates, degrees and licenses had not been the finish line she'd once imagined them to be, but instead the preliminary training for what would prove to be the wildest, most growth-insisting journey of her life.
Megan Griswold attended Barnard College, Yale University, and the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture before earning a licentiate degree. She holds qualifications as a doula, shiatsu practitioner, yoga instructor, personal trainer, and wilderness medicine, among other things. She's worked as a mountain guide, a Classical Five Element acupuncturist, a freelance journalist, an NPR All Things Considered contributor, and an off-the-beaten-path interior designer. In Kelly, Wyoming, she lives (mainly) in a yurt.
