What becomes possible when we stop clinging? Last year, I started writing a book called HOW TO LET GO. But the more I wrote, the more I realized something wasn't working. The ideas made sense on my screen, but they really came alive on stage. I found countless new truths in the laughter, the pauses, the tears, the stories. Turns out, some ideas deserve a stage more than a page. So I set the manuscript aside and started building my first solo live show. Today, I'm excited to announce the first three cities: Seattle — Sep 11 Vancouver — Sep 12 New York City — Oct 18 I'd love to see you there. Tickets are at the link in our bio. —JFM P.S. Where should I bring the tour next?

Last year, I started working on my eighth book—it’s called How to Let Go. But the more I wrote, the more I realized something just wasn’t working. I mean, the ideas made perfect sense on my computer screen, but they really came alive when I tried them out on stage—the laughter, the pauses, the tears, and the interactions with the audience. It was like stand-up comedy mixed with one of my TED Talks. Don’t get wrong, I love books—print books, ebooks, audiobooks. But I’ve never seen a live book—until now. Turns out, some ideas deserve a stage more than a page. So I hope you’ll join me for The Minimalists new tour—the How to Let Go Tour is the first ever live book experience. The next stop is in New York City on October 18 @citywinerynyc. There are still a few tickets left. Link in bio.

New York! I’m going to be in town on 10/18. What’s one hidden gem I have to visit while I’m there—restaurant, museum, coffee shop, whatever? Bonus points if it’s in Manhattan, but if you’ve got a secret spot in Queens or Hoboken, I’m just as curious. Let me know. Just don’t say the Statue of Liberty, okay :) And if you’re around, come spend the evening with me @CityWineryNYC
