Shellie Oldham uses her life experience to encourage a spirit of gratitude and communicate timeless wisdom for anyone of any age, race, gender, and spiritual leaning. Pursuing Your Best Life assumes the reader will experience suffering. Rather than offer encouragement to readers to avoid the inevitable or mitigate suffering, she shows how individuals struggling with life’s turmoil can embrace any challenge with gratitude, joy, and hope.

Being a better person is not about climbing the corporate ladder, seeking advanced degrees, or collecting followers on social media. A great human can do all of those, but the path to betterment is about building character, nurturing relationships, and spending quality time in self-reflection and introspection. Shellie borrows insights from history, philosophy, religion, science, business, and personal experience to lead readers on a journey of self-discovery. Each chapter is filled with short, easy-to-read anecdotes packed with emotional and psychological depth, words of encouragement, and space for personal reflection.

Pursuing Your Best Life is invitational, not correctional; communicative, not lecturing; and accessible, not high-minded. The author doesn’t communicate to readers from a pedestal or ivory tower but as a fellow journeyer.

At the end of each chapter, Shellie invites readers to reflect on their personal experiences and the decisions that brought them to where they are in life right now. Readers can use the book as a notebook, meditating and reflecting on their own life’s journey from page to page, or they can read it through from beginning to end like any other book. Either way, Shellie’s insights are profound, practical, and useful. The end goal is to give you the tools you need to become better at being human. There is even space at the end of each reading to make personal notes, giving the book even more practical value by turning it into a journal.

This practical book is organized simply allowing the reader to undertake their personal self-development journey at their own pace. It is no ordinary self-help book. Buy your copy of Pursuing Your Best Life right now!
