A clear-eyed look at what happens when everything we've been clinging to falls apart--what we keep, what we let go, and how we're transformed along the way. Just after her fortieth birthday, New York Times bestselling author Shauna Niequist found herself in a season of chaos, change, and loss unlike anything she'd ever experienced. She discovered that many of the beliefs and practices that had been useful up to that point no longer worked. After trying--and failing--to pull herself back up using the same old tools, she realized she required new ones: courage, curiosity, compassion, and self-compassion. She discovered the way through was more about questions than answers, more about forgiveness than force, more about tenderness than trying hard. I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet is a journey of both unlearning what is no longer helpful, embracing curiosity, and accepting the unknowns of midlife, heartbreak, and chronic pain. Niequist writes with characteristic candor and grace about the challenges and delights of a move from the Midwest to Manhattan, and also the challenges and delights of releasing our expectations for how we thought our lives would look. Follow Niequist on her journey to understand grief, to reshape her faith, to practice courage when all she wanted to do was hide. This is a book about learning how to live in a new city, learning how to get back up, and learning how to trust God's goodness in a deeper way.

The concept of bittersweet is transforming my understanding of life. It embodies the idea that within every experience, there exists both beauty and brokenness—a glimmer of hope amid heartbreak and richness in joy tinged with sadness. Embracing both the bitter and the sweet is essential, as a life filled solely with sweetness can decay both spirit and soul. Bitterness builds strength, resilience, and character, while sweetness offers comfort; together, they create a beautiful, nuanced existence.
Change, I’ve realized, is akin to childbirth, heartbreak, and failure—it’s painful, especially when resisted, yet it can lead to profound growth and transformation. Change opens us up to life’s possibilities and aligns us with a greater purpose, often revealing our true selves in both challenging and enlightening ways. It’s a divine gift, not a cruel twist of fate, and it’s essential not to flee from it.
With a warm and honest voice, the author invites readers to embrace this journey. When life is sweet, celebrate; when it’s bitter, grow from it. This work of recognizing and appreciating both aspects of life is a path toward deeper understanding and fulfillment.
