I Dare Me: How I Rebooted and Recharged My Life by Doing Something New Every Day

Feeling stuck?

Veteran journalist and cancer survivor Lu Ann Cahn was feeling angry and frustrated. The economy was tanking. Her job was changing. In a word, she felt stuck.

Something had to change. Her daughter helped convince her to start a Year of Firsts. For the next 365 days, Cahn made a point of doing something she had never done before, every day. Before she knew it, her whole perspective on life had changed. In this inspiring book, Lu Ann recounts how a new first everyday brought excitement and wonder back into her world. And more than that, she helps readers see how they can do it too.
