Bonus Episode: An Excerpt From Shauna Neiquests New Book, 'I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet'

from Making Room by Gather · host Kayty Helgerson, Shauna Neiquest

This week, we have the unique opportunity of giving you access to an audio clip  from Shauna Neiquests newest release, 'I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet.' Shauna has quickly become one of my favorite authors, after reading her book Present over Perfect. Her relatable storytelling invites you the beauty and vulnerability of all she shares, and in turn makes you feel known.  With that, I am overjoyed to cheer her on in this new launch!---Three years ago Shauna Niequist, her husband and two sons, alllifelong Midwesterners, moved from the Chicago suburbs to an 825-square foot apartment in Manhattan.What started as a family mantra, “I guess I haven’t learned that yet,” whenever city life surprised them, the phrase gave Shauna room to exhale and the freedom to relearn how life could be. In her new book, Niequist scoops up readers and gently tells them the same things she told her sons, “oh darlings, you’re not dumb – you’re new. We’re all new. And we’re all not failing.”In I GUESS I HAVEN’T LEARNED THAT YET: Discovering New Ways ofLiving When the Old Ways Stop Working, Niequist reflects on creating a quieter,deeper life, her evolving faith, gathering people around the table and the magic ofsaying “I don’t know.” She beautifully shares with readers how she learned tokeep going, living lightly and find healing in the face of major life transitions,chronic health issues and a global pandemic.“This is not a to-do list,” writes Niequist. “This is not a prescription for success ora road map to spiritual perfection. This is a love letter, a handful of treasures, alifeline, a hand reaching out in the darkness and offering hope and respite...Thisis the book I wish someone had written for me when I was in a season of near-constant untethering and unbelonging, wandering and fumbling, and ultimatelydiscovering a million beautiful surprises after a couple very dark years. This iseverything I know– wild and messy, accompaniments for the hardest stretches ofthe journey.”------Be sure to pick up your own copy of 'I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet', here!
