Description

Aristotle. Socrates. Descartes. And now, Chenoweth. (How about some women, am I right)

From television actress, Broadway star, and New York Times bestselling author Kristin Chenoweth comes I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts, an inspiring high-design, colorful book featuring philosophical-ish musings on connection, creativity, loss, love, faith, and closure. Just like Kristins grandmother inspired her to trust her heart and develop her own belief system, you'll be inspired to develop your own life philosophies, as you journey through some of Kristin's most vulnerable and humorous personal stories, in her constant pursuit to make the most out of life.

In each chapter, you'll find:

• Behind-the-scenes stories from Kristin's personal life
• High-design, colorful pages of inspirational quotes
• Engaging prompts, prayers, and inspiring quotes

Oh, and a warning: There will be Bible verses. There will be f-bombs. Read responsibly.

I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts is the perfect book to pick up on days when you need an extra shot of encouragement, a little laughter, and a gentle reminder that kindness can take you a long way. This is a great gift to give for birthdays, holidays, graduations, Mother's Day, or for fans of Kristin Chenoweth, known for her Emmy Awardwinning role in the ABC hit series Pushing Daisies and Broadway's Wicked.

'From the book's hot-pink cover to the 200-page collection of 'mini-meditations for saints, sinners, and the rest of us,' this book gave me a new perspective on faith, rage, and what it means to heal in your own way, with a lot of laughing required.

'Even in her darkest moments, Chenoweth possesses a bubbly lightness. It feels like catching up with your slightly wacky favorite aunt over a glass of bourbon. Maybe you believe only a little bit of what she says, or maybe none of it hits the mark, but it's the joy of her company you're truly after. You'll laugh, you might even cry, and you'll leave feeling a little lighter and a little more loved than before.' * BOSTON GLOBE *
