-Matthew Whoolery, PhD, psychologist and Fulbright Scholar
"Seth's amazing book illustrates a powerful and proven path to happiness and gently reminds us how easily we forget this profound truth: focusing on others brings the deepest joy.

"Your Life Isn't for You achieves a rare feat: it manages to preach without being preachy and it offers a trove of spiritual lessons that don't require the reader to be 'spiritual.' There's a reason Seth Adam Smith's writing went viral. It's clear and sharp, and maybe most importantly, it asks the big questions about how we can better serve ourselves by serving others."
-Seamus McKiernan, Senior Blog Editor, Special Projects, The Huffington Post
"What you will experience as you read this book and any of Seth's writings are a moved heart and a sharper mind. The only thing better than reading the writings of Seth Smith is hanging out with him in person."

"Your Life Isn't For You speaks with a simple, practical wisdom born not of academic study, but of richly layered life experience. Seth Adam Smith writes with compassion, authority, and insight, and his style is fresh, humorous, and engaging. His message is relevant to anyone who's ever had a depressing thought-which is all of us."
