In the wise and soulful tradition of teachers like Shauna Niequist and Brene Brown, therapist Aundi Kolber debuts with Try Softer helping us align our mind, body, and soul to live the life God created for us.

In a world that preaches a "try harder" gospel―just keep going, keep hustling, keep pretending we’re all fine―we’re left exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and numb to our lives. If we’re honest, we’ve been overfunctioning and hurtling toward burnout for so long, we can’t even imagine another way. How else will things get done? How else will we survive?

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Aundi Kolber believes we don’t have to white-knuckle our way through life, stuck in survival mode and stressed. In her debut book, Try Softer, she’ll show us how God specifically designed our bodies and minds to work together to process our stories and work through obstacles. Through the latest psychology, practical clinical exercises, and her own personal story, Aundi equips and empowers us to connect us to our truest self and truly live. This is the "try softer" life.

In Try Softer you’ll learn how to:

• Know and set emotional and relational boundaries
• Make sense of the difficult experiences you’ve had
• Identify your attachment style―and how that affects your relationships today
• Move through emotions rather than get stuck by them
• Grow in self-compassion and talk back to your inner critic

Trying softer is sacred work. And while the healing journey won’t be perfect or easy, it will be worth it. Because this is what we were made for: a living, breathing, moving, feeling, connected, beautifully incarnational life.
