About this listen

The most important question you’ll ever ask yourself.

In Why Bother?, personal growth expert Jennifer Louden challenges you to open your mind, heart, and life by following where the question leads. Through reflection and stories from others, Louden demonstrates how to bother when it feels impossible or like too much work, whether after professional defeats, heartbreak, illness, or life-changing loss.

She shows why you must prioritize what’s calling you at any time of your life, especially when you’ve sidelined your dreams to raise kids, pay the rent, or take care of aging parents. And crucially, she shows you how tapping into your deepest desires can give you the energy to move forward - even when the world seems in such dire straits.

It’s time to reclaim the dignity and beauty of your desires. It’s time to get your bother on.

I did not want to read another try harder/ be more organised/ think positive self help book. And thank goodness this book was not one of those! I have read much of Jen Louden’s work
over the years and this is a fabulous collation of her wisdom about living an engaged, human scaled life. Her acknowledgment of the different ways we experience situations is so helpful. Her encouragement to use the “Why Bother feelings, our procrastination, our anxiety as something to accept and work with is life changing. It is a terrific book and I highly recommend it!

Not your usual self help book!!! Much better!!!
