I wrote Discover What Matters to help college students find deeper meaning, hope, and love in their lives.

As students read this book together, I hope they will encourage each other to live out its themes—to value connection over achievement, spread kindness and generosity on their campus, and love the people they encounter wholeheartedly. Learn more about the book’s message below!
