Summary
Never give up, especially not on yourself.
A classic memoir of trauma recovery where L.L. Kirchner's post-divorce search for nirvana took her from university halls in the Persian Gulf to the streets of Manhattan to a sex cult in India.
Between her family’s gym and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner felt versed in physical and spiritual wellness. But when her husband demanded a divorce over the phone, she feared a return to her addictions.
Forced to confront the fact that her painful family dynamics remained unresolved, the author embarked on a spiritual journey to regain her trust in the universe. She tried yoga, meditation, chanting—all the things meant to cultivate bliss. Each brought some relief, but it wasn’t until she visited a psychic that she knew her life had changed.
In a memoir that’s both rapturous and page-turning, Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical honesty—and a second date.
Blissful Thinking is a beautifully written, deeply personal, unsparing self-portrait of love, loss, and resilience.
