There's no lack of people out there telling you to find your passion and dream big. But why does it seem like when we try, we so often end up more lost and overwhelmed than when we started? Liz Forkin Bohannon wants you to rethink everything you've been told about finding your passion and following your dreams. Why? Hate to break it to you, but you're likely never going to "find your passion." Because your passion and purpose are something you build-actively-day by day. In her signature tell-it-like-it-is fashion, Liz shares fourteen actionable principles that will teach you how to do just that. With total transparency, Liz shares hilarious and heartbreaking stories of her journey of screwups and successes that illustrate the mindsets and principles that will give you a jolt of energy, inspiration, and direction toward your True North. By embracing your Inner Beginner, dreaming small, choosing curiosity over criticism, and so much more, Liz's story and the principles of Beginner's Pluck will have you on your way to building a life of purpose, passion, and lasting impact. Ready to rise to the occasion? It's time to make this life everything you want it to be.

      Bohannon’s striking debut asks readers to allow themselves to fail mightily in order to embrace their inner beginner and capture the plucky energy that comes with initial interest in an activity. To that end, Bohannon introduces key principles: own one’s average, stop trying to “find your passion”; dream small (because small steps can lead to great journeys), and choose curiosity over criticism, among others. She recommends making promises as a good way to track oneself, and writes that most people feel hindered by fear of rejection and should be more willing to accept help. To illustrate her axioms, such as “Stop, Drop, and WOW” (giving yourself a free moment to pause and be grateful) and “dream to attract your team,” she shares stories from her career, which moved from studying journalism to starting a sandal company dedicated to women’s rights. Infusing the text is the same beginner’s fervor Bohannon champions: “There is no secret.... You just have to be brave enough to listen to the whisper that says, ‘Keep going.’ ” Those looking for inspiration after an unsuccessful endeavor, or simply looking for quick self-care tips, will relish Bohannon’s comforting, hopeful voice.
