Quotes

"How It Feels To Find Yourself is the book that we all need on our nightstands. It reminds us that regardless of the day we've experienced; we are still beautifully and devastatingly hopeful and human. Meera Lee Patel's colorful artwork illustrates the expansiveness of our feelings and her stunning words remind us that life is a spectrum of many emotions; comfort, discomfort, acceptance, loneliness, love, enthusiasm and open-heartedness, too. And though that spectrum may not always be convenient, it undoubtedly leads us to the truest versions of ourselves. This book is a beautiful gift to all of us."
—Cyndie Spiegel, bestselling author of A Year of Positive Thinking and Microjoys: Finding Hope (Especially) When Life Is Not Okay

"
In addition to the stunning watercolor illustrations in this book, Patel beautifully breaks down each section into clear themes related to navigating change…. If you or someone you know is entering a new life chapter and feeling daunted by it, this book is a solid companion.”
