Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Laura Munson, on air from April 29th
International bestselling author and acclaimed writing workshop leader Laura Munson for her new book, THE WILD WHY: Stories and Teachings to Uncover Your Wonder.
Why is the sky blue? Why do only birds get to fly? Is there a God? And if so, why does God let bad things happen? Why do people die? It’s natural for children to ask questions, big and small. But too often, adults brush off such questions as an annoyance, or scold kids for being rude, or even respond to their asking with punishment. When that happens, many children stop asking and grow up to become adults who believe it’s safer to stay quiet and squelch their inherent, and essential, sense of wonder.
THE WILD WHY is a deeply personal memoir and an empowering guide that blends Laura Munson’s life stories, awakenings, and hard-earned lessons with thoughtful teachings, reflective exercises, and heartfelt calls to action—inviting readers to uncover their own “wild why.” At its core is the magic of wonder—that universal mix of curiosity and awe we all feel when encountering something beautiful and mysterious, like a rainbow. Through her journey as a writer and seeker, navigating the highs of success and the heartbreak of divorce, Munson takes us from the quiet woods of Montana to a hammam in Morocco, the hill towns of Mexico and Tuscany, and an ancient stone circle in Ireland. In each place, she discovers profound truths about surrender, kindness, and the richness of life’s mysteries—ultimately guiding us toward deeper empathy, connection, and self-love.
