On Being Human: A Memoir of Waking Up, Living Real, and Listening Hard

An inspirational memoir about how Jennifer Pastiloff's years of waitressing taught her to seek out unexpected beauty, how hearing loss taught her to listen fiercely, how being vulnerable allowed her to find love, and how imperfections can lead to a life full of wild happiness.
Â
Centered around the touchstone stories Jen tells in her popular workshops,Â On Being HumanÂ is the story of how a starved person grew into the exuberant woman she was meant to be all along by battling the demons within and winning.

Jen did not intend to become a yoga teacher, but when she was given the opportunity to host her own retreats, she left her thirteen-year waitressing job and said â€œyes,â€ despite crippling fears of her inexperience and her own potential. After years of feeling depressed, anxious, and hopeless, in a life that seemed to have no escape, she healed her own heart by caring for others. She has learned to fiercely listen despite being nearly deaf, to banish shame attached to a body mass index, and to rebuild a family after the debilitatingÂ loss of her father when she was eight. Through her journey, Jen conveys the experience most of us are missing in our lives: being heard and being told, â€œI got you.â€ Â Â

Exuberant, triumphantly messy, and brave,Â On Being HumanÂ is a celebration of happiness and self-realization over darkness and doubt. Her complicated yet imperfectly perfect life path is an inspiration to live outside the box and to reject the all-too-common belief of â€œI am not enough.â€ Jen will help readers find, accept, and embrace their own vulnerability, bravery, and humanness.
