Had You Been Born Anything Else: Essays on Large Life Lessons Learned From Small Moments

Life consists of continuous nondescript moments that pass by without notice. But what if some of these subtle instances floating by could enrich our lives if only we recognized their poignancy? What if we identified and listened to them? What if they became agents of change?

In my new book, I discuss experiences where by observing a small moment I learned a large lesson, including:
- How regretfully uttering the word "pterodactyl" in a group taught me the power of being present.
- How a yoga instructor's presence told the true financial state of a million dollar tech company
- How typing "Djibouti" increased my empathy
- How a random encounter and conversation with a neighbor resulted in one of my greatest life experiences
