Directions: Really Good Advice for Getting from Here to There | Hallie Bateman
2 posts | 1 read
What Direction Do I Need Today? Sometimes we all need a little direction in life, whether its to see a problem from a new perspective, confirm a gut feeling, or just remember that, yes, were all in this together. Communal wisdom, truth, experienceand humorlike the advice found on every page of Directions, can get you through a lot. Like an Instagram philosopher, Hallie Bateman has been sharing directions for how to live to her 85,000 followers, and now, beginning with the core thoughts that most resonated with her audience and adding many, many new entries, presents this lively and uplifting collection. Hand-lettered by the author on scraps of colorful paper, and with the authors humorous illustrations throughout, Directions is a book of inspiration and clarity, and a perfect antidote to our often confusing and challenging times. On each page is an observation, an aha moment, or a well-worded reminder. The brightly colored spreads have a modern look and feel that will appeal to readers of all ages. An index playfully lists the directions by themefor example, Directions for Being Exactly Who You Are or Directions for Dealin with Your Feelins,though most readers will dip in and out of the book as they would approach a daily horoscope, fortune cookie, or Magic 8 Ball: What Direction do I need today?

A very short book full of uplifting messages for how to live life. Seems like some of the advice is geared towards young adults. But most of the “directions” are just a short phrase or sentence. I enjoyed it but it‘s not incredibly substantial. Some that stuck out (I‘m paraphrasing):
- think about death enough to appreciate life but not so much that it eclipses life 🧠
- keep your feet tidy 👣
A true mix of silly/sweet and serious.
