Summary of Anne Lamott's Help, Thanks, Wow

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I want relief from pressure, isolation, people’s suffering, and entire political administrations. I cannot stand one more death in my life, and I am existentially sick of death. I pray for help for this planet and her poor.

#2 Prayer is the first step towards restoration. When you’re still in the state of trying to fix the unfixable, everything bad is engaged: the chatter of your mind, the tension of your physiology, and all the trunks and wheel-ons you carry from the past.

#3 I was so sensitive about myself and the world that I cried or shriveled up at the slightest hurt. I was raised to believe that people who prayed were ignorant. My parents worshipped at the church of The New York Times, and they didn’t pray.

#4 I have been praying ever since I can remember, with a couple of bitter years as a teenage atheist when I discovered Bertrand Russell. I could always imagine God was near, or at least true.
