Product Description
In October 2003, Patti Digh?s stepfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died 37 days later. The timeframe made an impression on her. What emerged was a commitment to ask herself every morning: What would I be doing today if I had only 37 days left to live? The answers changed her life and led to this new kind of book. Part meditation, part how-to guide, part memoir, Life is a Verb is all heart. Within these pages?enhanced by original artwork and wide, inviting margins ready to be written in?Digh identifies six core practices to jump-start a meaningful life: Say Yes, Trust Yourself, Slow Down, Be Generous, Speak Up, and Love More. Within this framework she supplies 37 edgy, funny, and literary life stories, each followed by a ?do it now? 10-minute exercise as well as a practice to try for 37 days?and perhaps the rest of your life.

Wonderful book.I loved it January 7, 2009
I think this is one of the best books I have read.
Funny and interesting while making you think.
Don't hesitate, just buy it! You'll won't be sorry :) January 1, 2009
Life is a Verb is the most inspirational and beautiful book I have ever read. It is helping me to come out of a very deep depression and learn to appreciate everything again. It has also helped me to start journaling again to heal myself. I started feeling better before I got to page 40!
I bought 8 copies for friends and relatives for holiday presents... It is a great gift book and a RAK book. I hope to share its healing and inspiration with as many people as I can.
Filled with inspirational quotes and anecdotes, it really makes you look at all the wonders of the world and realize how lucky you are to be able to experience them. I love quotes and there is at least one, if not two, on almost every page of the book --- and each quote is as powerful and moving as the last. (Most of the quotes can even lead to a deep journaling session if you want to take the time.)
This is the kind of book you will find yourself going back through time and time again - before you even finish it! Go out and buy your own copy as soon as you can!
 Exact same content on her blog December 30, 2008

Patti Digh is an incredibly gifted writer and seems like a nice person. That said I have read through the archives of her blog (which is great), and there is no new essay content in this book. There are new illustrations, quotes, and exercises at the end of each section, but otherwise she has already published this work online. Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed. I have a finite book budget. I paid for and expected more. Life is Verb still gets 3 stars, because I do admire her work. For many people this book would still be worth purchasing for the visual art and inherent conveniance of the book form.
Life is truly a verb... December 29, 2008
I follow Patti Digh's amazing and thought-provoking blog. Her writing is poignant - it makes me think, it makes me cry, it encourages me to challenge myself. I am pleased to see several of her essays in print. Patti's book is a beautiful collection of essays that remind one to think, connect, slow down, nurture, enjoy, and live. Life is truly a verb.
