O'Leary John Boeken

The #1 bestselling author of On Fire encourages us to recapture our childlike sense of wonder for a more engaged, successful, and fulfilled life. There was a time when we eagerly raised our hands to answer questions, connected easily with others, and embraced new experiences with joy. Each day felt like a marvelous gift, filled with awe for ordinary moments and excitement for what tomorrow might bring. However, many of us now feel disconnected and jaded, constantly reminded of our inadequacies by social media and overwhelmed by negativity in the mainstream media. The daily grind has dulled our sense of wonder, leaving us trapped in a cycle of responsibility and monotony. In this new work, John O'Leary invites us to rediscover the perspective of childhood. He identifies five senses that children possess and that we often lose as we grow older. Through emotional, humorous, and inspirational stories, along with compelling research, O'Leary illustrates how we can reclaim our childlike joy. He emphasizes that doing so can transform our interactions with the world, helping us to see fresh insights, seek new solutions, and ultimately live our best lives.
