"Cody’s work shifts and stretches. This new collection is a necessary resource for those of us looking to re-center, lean in, and get curious about ourselves, about our heart's work. Getting to Center is a blessing in book form." —Alexandra Elle, author of After the Rain 

From the beloved creator, workshop facilitator, and author of How to Not Always Be Working comes an approachable and practical guide to leaning into the unknown even when it feels as though everything around—and inside—us is in flux.

Picking up where How to Not Always Be Working left off, Getting to Center is an empathetic offering to those who are looking for a roadmap for finding their way back to equilibrium. This book meditates on endings, grief and joy, ease, hope, addiction, and beginnings, pairing Cody's own experiences and wisdom with practical exercises and tools for creating balance and understanding within the natural changes of life. 

In their own constant shifting, improviser and entrepreneur Cody Cook-Parrott has found ways to pivot within their career, while still maintaining constant threads throughout. They have developed practices that have supported them through opening and closing multiple businesses, a divorce, several cross-country moves, choosing sobriety, and more.

Essential for anyone who feels overwhelmed and anxious about these unpredictable times, this gorgeous, thoughtful book is a hand to hold to feel less alone, and a guide to cultivating resources we can replenish and depend on in ourselves.
