Why is the sky blue? Why do only birds get to fly? Is there a God? And if so, why does God let bad things happen? Why do people die? It’s natural for children to ask questions, big and small. But too often, adults brush off such questions as an annoyance, or scold kids for being rude, or even respond to their asking with punishment. When that happens, many children stop asking and grow up to become adults who believe it’s safer to stay quiet and squelch their inherent, and essential, sense of wonder.
A deeply personal memoir and richly insightful, empowering guide, THE WILD WHY interweaves stories, awakenings, and lessons with teachings, exercises of exploration, and calls to action for the reader to find their own wild why. At the heart of it all is wonder. What is wonder anyway? As Laura Munson explains, wonder is what even cynics feel and think when they see a rainbow: curiosity mixed with awe. And because the experience is universal, wonder drives empathy.
Following Laura Munson’s evolution as a writer and a wonderer through life’s unexpected turns, including success and divorce, THE WILD WHY also welcomes readers to come along on her travels to wonderful places all over the world. From the woods of Montana, to a hammam in Morocco, to hill towns in Mexico and Tuscany, to an ancient stone circle in Ireland…we revel in what she receives: the ability to surrender, the power of kindness, and a greater appreciation for life’s mysteries, the universe, others, and, yes, herself.  THE WILD WHY affirms a universal truth - as Laura Munson attests: “We’re all creative! Every act of living is creative. Every step we take, every choice we make, every word that comes out of our mouth—it’s all an act of creation!” What could be more wonderful than that?
