Overview

“The PERFECT guide to help us slow down and find the beauty and wonder right in front of us.”—Brené Brown

Spark your sense of wonder and lift your spirits with this collection of fun, creative activities and ideas to help cultivate daily joy.  

Do you remember the first time you saw the night sky blanketed in stars? Or that feeling of magic when you found your first sand dollar on the beach? Maybe it’s when you rode a bicycle for the first time and it felt like flying. Wonder taps us into the joy of being alive, opening our eyes to how much beauty there is in the world and how life can surprise us in the most delightful of ways. 

Wonder Seeker reminds us that no one is too busy (or too old) to experience daily gratitude and delight. Filled with 52 fun, easy, and incredibly creative prompts and activities, this guide to joy helps us to step out of our ordinary lives, even for just a moment or two each day, to witness the magic all around us.  

Andrea provides simple practices that bridge creativity and mindfulness and allow the imagination to play. These activities can be done anywhere and can be enjoyed solo, or with friends, family, and even strangers. The fun activities and suggestions in Wonder Seeker include:

  • Taking a curiosity walk
  • Writing a banana love note
  • Going on a wonder date 
  • Writing a paint chip poem      
  • Hosting a bubble flash mob
  • Making a wish tree
  • Choosing a superhero name

And much, much more!

As Andrea makes clear, you don’t need to be an artist or consider yourself “creative.” All you need is an open heart and a clear intention to find wonder and awe. It will renew your creative spirit, remind you of the marvels around you, and make your soul sing. Reclaim your inner happiness—let Wonder Seeker show you how.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
