Your life is shaped by the experiences you have. This is not a metaphor. It is the central truth that organizes all other truths about what it means to be human. Yet we rarely pause to examine this statement with the depth it deserves. We move through our days collecting moments, most of which pass through our awareness like water through open hands.

We do not ask:
• What is an experience?
• How does it reshape us?
• What is our responsibility in choosing which experiences to invite into our lives?

This book is an exploration of these questions.
