What if you could set aside the way your life was ""supposed"" to look, and instead, create a life that was uniquely and authentically your own?

A guide to creative living, IMPROVISING ADULTHOOD invites you to view your life through the lens of improvisation, from the work you do to the people you spend time with and the experiences and places you explore. Weaving the author's personal experiences together with lessons learned and creative prompts, these pages will inspire you to:

+ Embrace life's unpredictability.+ Question inherited ""scripts"" and societal rules, and write your own.+ Tune into your ""yes"" so you can live with intention.+ Realize the power you have to carve your own path.

To read IMPROVISING ADULTHOOD is to realize that life is an improv show, and you are an improvisor, creating your reality one choice at a time. If you've been waiting for permission to live life on your own terms - this is it.

Amanda Hirsch is obsessed with the stories we tell and why and how we tell them. As both an artist (writer, improv actor) and office-misfit-turned-entrepreneur (company: Mighty Forces), she is fueled by the desire to solve problems, tell the truth, and help people feel like they belong. Voted ""most likely to host a talk show"" and ""most congenial"" by her high school class (go Rockets!), she lives in New York's Hudson Valley with her husband Jordan, their daughter Ali, and their dog Clover, whom she enjoys impersonating.
