This inspirational guide to handling the crises of your life starts with a poem by Walt Whitman: “Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.” In other words, the poet is telling us, find your inherent inspiration and really think about what makes you feel the most fulfilled.
The book is an illustrated workshop filled with poetry and inspiration from a variety of artists, superbly drawn, as if we even needed to go that far. You may find a few quotes to place on your social media pages or the wall/cubicle in your office.
