This captivating picture book for adults is an inquiry into the pursuit of happiness and what it means to be radically alive in our daily moments. It tells the story of an “everyman” searching for the well-being he longs for and dimly remembers, but no longer believes in. The Well of Being’s over 100 gorgeous watercolor illustrations and graceful, philosophic text draw the reader in, inviting us to surrender to the book’s simple, empowering message. It invites us to awaken from our constructed stories that we may return to this world and live in the present. Through art, philosophy, and poetry we are offered a refreshing and empowering way to rethink ourselves. This book is an experience to be felt.

EVOLVE takes readers on a philosophical journey that explores the age-old question -- who am I? EVOLVE unpacks three foundational stories from the book of Genesis in the hopes of answering where we come from and where we might choose to go, and offers a liberating message: our deepest purpose is to be free, co-creative participants in our world.EVOLVE presents a vision for what it might mean to be free, interlacing words with pictures that plummet to the core and take the reader on a journey that words or pictures could not achieve on their own. As with every great children's book, EVOLVE can be explored again and again, yet it is in every way a book for adults, challenging our thinking about what it means to be an adult.EVOLVE is like a great pop song, seemingly wholly new with a message we have always known. It is a book to share quietly and meditate over with someone you love. It lightheartedly invites the reader to be serious with a serious topic. EVOLVE is a book that heals. It is a landscape of the human psyche and an essay on the transformative power of language. It is an invitation, an experience.
