"A beautiful, sensitive book about the most important issues we face in life."

-Emily Esfahani Smith, author of The Power of Meaning

In But Are You Alive?, entrepreneur and teacher Eloise Skinner explores lessons learned from a decade spent pursuing depth, purpose and meaning, including from her training in a monastic community and in the field of existential therapy.

Working through practical exercises, principles and tools, Eloise shares wisdom and actionable advice from a variety of traditions and perspectives, all with the intention of helping the reader find a sense of deeper 'aliveness' in daily life.
