A clear-eyed look at what happens when everything we've been clinging to falls apart--what we keep, what we let go, and how we're transformed along the way. Just after her fortieth birthday, New York Times bestselling author Shauna Niequist found herself in a season of chaos, change, and loss unlike anything she'd ever experienced. She discovered that many of the beliefs and practices that had been useful up to that point no longer worked. After trying--and failing--to pull herself back up using the same old tools, she realized she required new ones: courage, curiosity, compassion, and self-compassion. She discovered the way through was more about questions than answers, more about forgiveness than force, more about tenderness than trying hard. I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet is a journey of both unlearning what is no longer helpful, embracing curiosity, and accepting the unknowns of midlife, heartbreak, and chronic pain. Niequist writes with characteristic candor and grace about the challenges and delights of a move from the Midwest to Manhattan, and also the challenges and delights of releasing our expectations for how we thought our lives would look. Follow Niequist on her journey to understand grief, to reshape her faith, to practice courage when all she wanted to do was hide. This is a book about learning how to live in a new city, learning how to get back up, and learning how to trust God's goodness in a deeper way.

Świat chciałby, abyś była idealna. Intensywnie pracowała, miała czas dla dzieci i była zjawiskowo piękna. Stajesz się zakładniczką coraz większych i nierealnych oczekiwań. Z Shauną Niequist było podobnie. Goniła za karierą, gdy jej synkowie stawiali pierwsze kroki. Pakowała walizkę na kolejną delegację, nawet gdy poroniła, a na lotnisku wymiotowała z wyczerpania. Myślała, że właśnie praca sprawia, że jest ważna, potrzebna i kochana. Wiedziała, że to zła droga, ale nie potrafiła uwolnić się od presji. Do czasu kiedy dostała list od przyjaciółki: „Stop, zatrzymaj się. Przemebluj swoje życie od podstaw”. To był pierwszy dzień reszty jej nowego życia. Teraz Shauna umie zrezygnować z kariery, aby spędzać czas z bliskimi. W swoim spokojnym życiu gotuje, modli się, kocha i jest kochana. Wie, że Bóg ją chroni, więc nie goni za każdą propozycją zawodową. Szpilki zmieniła na trampki, częściej mówi „nie”, otworzyła drzwi swojego domu dla przyjaciół. Postanowiła być szczęśliwa! Poznaj historię Shauny, która zainspirowała tysiące kobiet do zmiany myślenia o sobie, świecie i Bogu. I zobacz, że życie jest piękne, jeśli żyjesz po swojemu! Shauna Niequist – matka, żona. Wierzy, że opowiadanie historii, głośny śmiech i zimna pizza na śniadanie są dobre niemal na wszystko. Shauna to mól książkowy i pasjonatka spotkań… szczególnie przy stole.
Shauna Niequist ermutigt, das hektische Leben zu entschleunigen und die wahren Prioritäten zu erkennen. Mit herzerwärmenden Geschichten lädt sie dazu ein, Gnade, Liebe, Ruhe und Freude im Alltag zu erleben und sich als geliebtes Kind Gottes zu erkennen, um ein erfülltes Leben zu führen.
