<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"An honest and #relatable exploration of figuring out where you're headed --and finding a way to feel OK in the meantime"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>An <i>LA Times</i> bestseller <p/>An honest and relatable guide to figuring out where you're headed--and feeling okay in the meantime.</b><br></b><br>When life feels uncertain, or just plain out of control, making intentional choices can help us move forward and find our way. Sometimes all it takes is a gentle nudge, but for anyone waiting for that big, obvious sign from the universe: This is it! <p/>This candid collection of essays and artwork is full of reflections, encouragement, and insights on the theme of personal transformation--realistic perspectives to help you move from "staying alive" to nurturing and celebrating the person you know you really are. <p/>From the generous and slightly jaded mind of artist Adam J. Kurtz, these pages explore mental health, identity, handling setbacks, and finding humor in the unknown--and will be a touchstone for seekers, graduates, creatives, and anyone who's trying to figure out what's next (and maybe even feel a little hopeful about it).<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This book reminds us all to be unapologetically flawed and beautifully human. Adam's work serves as a permission slip to show up authentically and without shame. What a special gift." <br><b>-Alexandra Elle, author of <i>After the Rain</i></b> <p/> "Adam J. Kurtz is the relatable voice in a sea of expensive and excessive 'wellness' BS that says, 'cut the crap, let's get real, let's get silly, let's get through this.' And I'm here for it."<br><b>-Moorea Seal, author of <i>The 52 Lists Series</i> </b> <p/> "Adam acknowledges that life is messy and often frustrating, but always worth living. His art and words flourish with honesty and humor, reminding us that the best way--perhaps the only way--to move through each day is with more of the same." <br><b>-Meera Lee Patel, artist and author of <i>Start Where You Are</i> and <i>Create Your Own Calm</i></b> <p/> "Adam is singularly gifted with the ability to make you vigorously nod with recognition and in the same breath wonder, Did he just change my entire life? <br><b>-Mari Andrew, author of <i>Am I There Yet?</i> and <i>My Inner Sky</i></b> <p/> Adam J. Kurtz never ceases to ground us in humor and realism with an effortless kindness underscoring everything he creates. <i>You Are Here (For Now)</i> makes me feel like I'm going to be ok, because it reminds me that not being ok is normal and even necessary. In a world obsessed with instant success, Adam reminds us to slow down and enjoy all the awkward pleasures of being human. <br> -<b>Chani Nicholas, astrologer and author of </b><i>You Were Born For This</i> <p/>Just like people, some books are challenging, some are boring, some are beautiful. And some, like Adam JK's latest book, are like your new best friend. <i>You Are Here (For Now): A Guide To Finding Your Way</i> does what we'd all like our close friends to do for us in these difficult times: it picks you up when you're down, it gives wise counsel, it encourages us in our creative work, it's funny and gentle and caring, and it's a book you just want to be around.<br><b>-Debbie Millman, Host of the Design Matters podcast and author of <i>Why Design Matters</i> <br></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Adam J.
