The Book
THE WEIGHT OF BECOMING
Why becoming who you were meant to be requires more than finding yourself.
A serious work of nonfiction exploring identity, ambition, responsibility, culture and the uncomfortable process of becoming the person one is capable of becoming.
Why I Wrote This
I wrote The Weight of Becoming because I kept meeting brilliant, capable people — including earlier versions of myself — who had confused looking for themselves with the much harder, much slower work of building themselves.
What's Inside
Twelve chapters move from the discomfort of outgrowing an old self, through the cost of ambition and the performance of success, to a closing argument for a discipline of becoming that can survive contact with real life.
