You Are Here (For Now): A Guide To Finding Your Way

You Are Here (For Now): A Guide To Finding Your Way


"Part advice, part personal narrative, and part artwork — full of reflections, encouragements, and insights on personal transformation to help you nurture and celebrate yourself." –New York Magazine 

***

my new collection of essays is full of hopeful reminders, gentle truths, dark humor, and art inspired by personal growth. with essays about change, purpose, love, comparison, failure, and other fun things that keep me up at night, this pocket-sized book will be an encouraging but not-not real pep talk for anyone who's feeling a little bit lost or overwhelmed (so probably most of us). 

also not to be weird but it makes a good "hey I know we haven't been able to have one of those deep conversations in a while but I miss you and I love you and I'm always here if you need me" gift for that friend you really care about but maybe haven't had a chance for a heart to heart lately.

An LA Times, IndieBound, and Bookshop.org Bestseller!

"In You Are Here (For Now), artist and author Adam J. Kurtz is vulnerable, wise and hilarious as he doles out advice and comfort to anyone who's really going through it." –BookPage


You Are Here (For Now) Podcast

"Adam J. Kurtz never ceases to ground us in humor and realism with an effortless kindness underscoring everything he creates. You Are Here (For Now) makes me feel like I’m going to be ok, because it reminds me that not being ok is normal and even necessary. In a world obsessed with instant success, Adam reminds us to slow down and enjoy all the awkward pleasures of being human."

“Adam acknowledges that life is messy and often frustrating, but always worth living. His art and words flourish with honesty and humor, reminding us that the best way--perhaps the only way--to move through each day is with more of the same.”

“Adam is singularly gifted with the ability to make you vigorously nod with recognition and in the same breath wonder, Did he just change my entire life?"

“This book reminds us all to be unapologetically flawed and beautifully human. Adam's work serves as a permission slip to show up authentically and without shame. What a special gift.”
