In Your Life Isn’t for You, Seth Adam Smith expands on the philosophy outlined in his popular blog post “Marriage Isn’t for You,” which received over 30 million hits and has been translated into twenty languages (and counting).
In this inspiring, funny, and moving book—a welcome antidote to the modern obsession with self—Seth shows how his philosophy of living for others can enrich every aspect of your life, just as it has his. Seth writes not as an expert but as a flawed human being sharing what he’s learned—and learned the hard way. He reveals how, years before his marriage, his self-obsession led to a downward spiral of addiction and depression, culminating in a suicide attempt at the age of twenty.
