Scary Close: Dropping the Act and Finding True Intimacy, Hardcover

After decades of failed relationships and painful drama, Donald Miller decided he d had enough. Impressing people wasn t helping him connect with anyone. He d built a life of public isolation, yet he dreamed of meaningful relationships. So at forty years old he made a scary decision: to be himself no matter what it cost.

From the author of Blue Like Jazz comes a book about the risk involved in choosing to impress fewer people and connect with more, about the freedom that comes when we stop acting and start loving. It is a story about knocking down old walls to create a healthy mind, a strong family, and a satisfying career. And it all feels like a conversation with the best kind of friend: smart, funny, true, important.

Scary Close is Donald Miller at his best."
