About this product

Product Information

" The Urgent Life shines a bright light on the intricacies of the shadows she's been in, and illuminates the beauty of her urgent life." --Serena Williams From iconic leader Bozoma Saint John, comes a memoir of grief, and one woman's drive to thrive in the face of loss When Bozoma Saint John's husband, Peter, died of cancer, she made one big decision: to live life urgently. Bozoma was no stranger to adversity, having lost her college boyfriend to suicide, navigated an interracial marriage, grieved a child born prematurely--a process that led to her and Peter's separation--and coparented the daughter who she and Peter shared. When Peter knew his cancer was terminal, he gave Bozoma a short list of things to do: cancel the divorce, and fix the wrongs immediately. In The Urgent Life , Bozoma takes readers through the dizzying, numbing days of multiple griefs, and the courage which these sparked in her to live life in accordance with her deepest values time and time again. We witness Bozoma's journey forward through the highs and the lows, as she negotiates life as a woman determined to learn from tragedies to build a remarkable life worth living even in her brokenness. Bozoma's story is extraordinary, but her grief is not uncommon, and her courage is sure to touch any reader who has loved, mourned and is finding a path through loss and grief, as well as anyone who is maneuvering a pivot and wants to live life to its fullest.

"Bozoma Saint John takes us on a deeply personal journey from pain to power. Her story reflects the indomitable spirit of hope that transcends the most deplorable moments we all encounter between mountains. This is a guide to lift your heart, beyond the dismal shadows of now, to the effervescent enlightenment of next. More than a book; this page-turning ride will transport you from shades of night to the effervescence of light. Buckle up! You are in for a ride!" -T.D. Jakes, author, entrepreneur, and pastor of The Potter's House of Dallas, "I'm a believer of miracles, so Bozoma Saint John's The Urgent Life speaks to my very core in illustrating the miracle of a life made great even through the trauma of immeasurable loss. If you don't believe in miracles, her story is sure to convert you." --Gabrielle Union, actress, producer and best selling author "Yes, The Urgent Life is the epic, riveting story about the love between a woman and her family. It is also a love story between a singularly brilliant woman and life itself. Every page shows us how to love and lose while staying so unflinchingly close to the beautiful, brutal truth of life that we finally suck the marrow out of it. Bozoma Saint John's clarity, wisdom, and lyricism make The Urgent Life the memoir of the year." --Glennon Doyle, author of the NYT bestseller Untamed "Bozoma Saint John takes us on a deeply personal journey from pain to power.

Jakes, author, entrepreneur, and pastor of The Potter's House of Dallas "Anyone who has crossed paths with Boz knows she is a force--ready to take on the world, even in the face of loss. Infused with determination, spirituality and passion, The Urgent Life will make you want to pour yourself into everything you do and wring the most of out of every single day." --Katie Couric "A woman we can ALL look up to! Boz's story is heartbreaking, yet inspiring, and brings nothing but light and love to even the darkest of times. She is the definition of keep on keepin' on, and I know that's exactly what she will continue to do." -- Quincy Jones "A remarkably moving read about love, loss, and resilience. Bozoma Saint John is a force of nature, and her memoir will make you laugh, cry, and think hard about the meaning of your life and the relationships that matter most." --Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast Re:Thinking " The Urgent Life is an urgent book, a waterfall of life's tragedies and happinesses --and it is also a meditation on how to live, with agency and will and also with truth, care and joy. Any reader who has lived and loved and lost will find a home in this book." -- Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of In Love, "The highlight reel of life can be misleading. It's only when you look beyond the happy moments to look deeply into the times of darkness to see the real truth of a life. Bozoma Saint John's The Urgent Life shines a bright light on the intricacies of the shadows she's been in, and illuminates the beauty of her urgent life." --Serena Williams "The intensity of The Urgent Life Is contagious. No matter how different our own lives may be, we're likely to leave these pages with a new sense of intimacy as well as urgency." --Gloria Steinem "In the past few years, I've had a front row seat to the inspiring way Bozoma Saint John has lived her life urgently; but in reading the story of her losses, I've truly come to marvel at her ferocious fortitude. Boz has not just survived, she has thrived. And all of us can learn lessons in The Urgent Life for how to do the same." --Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global "I'm a believer of miracles, so Bozoma Saint John's The Urgent Life speaks to my very core in illustrating the miracle of a life made great even through the trauma of immeasurable loss.
