I Used to Have a Plan: But Life Had Other Ideas

內容簡介

內容簡介 我明明都計畫好了啊，但人生有時候就是會歪掉...Balm for the soul—Alessandra Olanow offers advice, inspiration, and encouragement for anyone who needs a shoulder to lean on during a difficult time.“I Know This Too Shall Pass. (But It Would Be Helpful to Know When).”After a series of events left her a divorced single mother questioning herself, her relationships, and basically, everything she thought was true about her “picture-perfect” life, Alessandra Olanow began drawing and posting illustrations on Instagram that reflected her feelings and struggles to right her life. She chronicled her journey of healing, expressing the shock, delusion, denial, self-pity, and self-doubt she experienced and the self-empathy and forgiveness that ultimately helped her regain a sense of self—but stronger, more fearless, and more hopeful than before. Her charming illustrations and keen, memorable observations—struck a chord. Within a year, her audience grew dramatically, from 9,500 to 157,000 followers, including celebrities Katie Couric, Jennifer Garner, Elise Loehnen (chief content officer at Goop), the poet Joao Doederlein, and Joanna Goddard (founder of A Cup of Jo).I Used to Have a Plan brings Olanow’s soothing sensibility to a wider audience, featuring new drawings and ideas that touch upon the universal experiences of unexpected change and loss. Divided into five parts—“I Didn’t See That Coming,” “It’s OK That You’re Not OK,” “Where’d I Go,” “The Only Way Out Is Through,” and “I Like It Here, Can I Stay a While?”—the book beautifully encapsulates the experience of encountering difficulty, processing it and healing from it, and becoming stronger and with a better sense of self.Full of advice, commiseration, empathy, and wit that is comforting, helpful, direct, and remarkable in its truth, I Used to Have a Plan helps everyone through the painful yet ultimately uplifting process of healing.I Used to Have a Plan includes 75-100 illustrations.【走進閱讀世界｜迷誠品:專文推薦】標題｜比起振作，我更需要接受現狀。繪本《I Used to Have a Plan》帶我從低潮中復原撰文｜迷誠品內容中心網路插畫家Alessandra Olanow 《I Used to Have a Plan》以親身故事，表達她曾經歷過的崩潰、妄想、否認和自我懷疑，以及重新找回自我的寬恕；書中的每幅畫與日常景象不謀而合，隨手翻都令人會心一笑，搭配大量的雙關與點綴，宛如一首搖籃曲，在你我度過最脆弱的黑暗期，帶來溫柔的共鳴。☞點此進入迷誠品閱讀文章
