Next Right Thing: 74 Offerings

Stop. Breathe. Do the next right thing.

In The Next Right Thing, Ben Newman returns with seventy-four new offerings - part meditation, part spoken word, part the kind of truth a good friend tells you when you're ready to hear it. Where 52 Gates opened doors to stillness, this collection walks straight into the storm - into grief, desire, fear, impermanence, and the stubborn holiness of showing up anyway.

These are not poems meant to be admired from a distance. They are meant to be used - read aloud, carried into difficult conversations, whispered in the dark when the old voices start knocking. They sit with loss without rushing to fix it. They laugh when laughter is the only honest response. They practice letting go, and then letting go again.

Fierce, tender, and unflinching, The Next Right Thing is for anyone who has ever been lost and still taken the next step. A book for the 3 a.m. question, the long walk, and the moment between who you were and who you're becoming.
