As a prominent woman juggling many roles, Maria Shriver knows just how surprising, unpredictable, and stressful everyday life can be. In her new book, I’VE BEEN THINKING, Maria shares her reflections for those seeking wisdom, guidance, encouragement, and inspiration on the road to a meaningful life.

In this moving and powerful book, which is inspired by the messages Shriver shares in her popular e-newsletter, The Sunday Paper, she offers up lessons she’s learned along the way and meditations she’s kept by her side as touchstones to help her negotiate the challenges that arise in all our lives. She shares inspiring quotes, prayers, and reflections designed to get readers thinking, get them feeling, get them laughing, and get them through in one piece in their journey to what she calls The Open Field—a place of acceptance, purpose, and passion, a place of joy.
