"A beautiful, sensitive book about the most important issues we face in life."

-Emily Esfahani Smith, author of The Power of Meaning


“If your aliveness is missing or defunct, Eloise Skinner's book will help you reclaim it. A practical yet deeply rich guide that facilitates your creation of a fulfilling work-life portfolio through the examination of mind, body, work, and self.”

-Dan Pontefract, award-winning author of Work-Life Bloom, Lead. Care. Win., and others

”Life is not so much about having the right answers as it is about asking the right questions. And a great one to begin with is: 'But are you alive?' Eloise Skinner eloquently and beautifully explores this theme, pulling from her own deep exploration of spirituality, psychology, and the actual act of living. It is a brave, bold book you will want to read more than once. Don't let this book, and more importantly this question, go by without attempting to answer it.”

-Jeff Goins, bestselling author of The Art of Work
