What happens when we give away love like we're made of it? In his entertaining and inspiring follow-up to the New York Times bestselling phenomenon Love Does, Bob Goff takes readers on a journey into the secret of living without fear, constraint, or worry. The path toward the liberated existence we all long for is found in a truth as simple to say as it is hard to do: love people, even the difficult ones, without distinction and without limits.
Driven by Bob’s trademark storytelling, Everybody, Always reveals the lessons Bob learned--often the hard way--about what it means to love without inhibition, insecurity, or restriction. From finding the right friends to discovering the upside of failure, Everybody, Always points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible. Whether losing his shoes while skydiving solo or befriending a Ugandan witch doctor, Bob steps into life with a no-limits embrace of others that is as infectious as it is extraordinarily ordinary. Everybody, Always reveals how we can do the same.
Bob Goff seems like an amazing human being! I think it would be wonderful to just sit in a room with him and listen to him tell stories. Even more so, I'd love to talk to him about an issue or problem and let him help me solve it because I just know it would be beyond anything I could even think or dream. Love Does, his first book, sits proudly on my favorites shelf and I recommend it all the time. I can't say I loved this one quite as much, but I don't think that would be possible anyway. I know this book gets some criticism because Bob's perspective is one of privilege, but I think that's unfair. He's not asking us to become rich and save the world. He's using his resources to make the world a better place and show love to everyone. We can do that, one person at a time in our corner of the world as well, no matter what resources and privileges we have. That's the great thing about showing love, it's completely free!! Please do yourself a favor and pick up this book and Love Does, read it and pass it on!
