博客來If you say yes to everything, can you find love again?
After the unexpected death of his wife, author Bruce Miller faced a stark choice: Sink into the quicksand of despair or use the loss as a springboard to test a loving universe.
Bruce vows to say yes to every invite and opportunity, big and small. His grief journey quickly evolves into a madcap quest in search of love. In the process, he discovers Bondo, the mythical ingredient for human intimacy.
Friends, therapists, and teachers prop Bruce’s spirit as he questions the purpose of living, but it’s only when he enlists the Borscht Belt comedian Henny Youngman as his spirit guide that he realizes, ＂Your highest work comes from the darkest places.＂
Bruce has immersed himself in Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, teachers, and practices for fifty years. His grief journey put them all to the test. After finding the Kübler-Ross’s stages of grief to be useless for survivors, Bruce sought to write the definitive book on reinvention after loss - one that strikes a balance between pathos and humor, science and mysticism.
Bruce is a professional writer, author, marketer, and screenwriter. He is also a Whirling Dervish and the author of Rumi Comes to America. In this real-time memoir, Bruce draws from a richly lived spiritual journey to uncover the mysteries of grace, human connection, and eternal love.

＂Thank you for this. I’ve been navigating these paths for three months now, and I’m desperately afraid. It’s as if I could WILL him back. But I cannot. Nor can I accept. I haven’t reached that point. Thank you for writing these missives. I think of all the supposed truisms about the heart - the heart is a lonely hunter.＂ Gael ＂Aww, wow, Bruce, I am not even halfway through this chapter, and what a heartfelt no-exit ride down an energetic rapid.＂ Donno ＂Once again, a heart-rending narrative of the love and struggle of a lifetime.
