Name: Live Like You Believe
Author: Loretta McNary

Overview

A book about the distance between what we say we believe and how we actually live — and the ten deliberate decisions that close it.

Why I wrote this

Because the most honest conversations of two decades of television did not happen on camera. They happened after, when someone finally said out loud that their life and their belief had drifted apart.

Written across two years of interviews, notebooks, and long flights — the questions guests kept answering after the cameras were switched off.

An Excerpt

There is a version of your life that already agrees with everything you believe. It is not waiting on a breakthrough. It is waiting on a decision — usually a small one, usually today, usually the one you have been calling ‘later.’
