In Defense of Dabbling

The Brilliance of Being a Total Amateur

In Defense of Dabbling is a delightful jaunt into how to be a total amateur — by doing the things you love even if you're not any good at them. Walrond reminds us that it's in the living that we create a life, and transcendence awaits: What joy might we find if we simply started doing the things we love?

Radiant Rebellion

Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy, and Raise a Little Hell

The award-winning Radiant Rebellion is an intriguing investigation into how we can reclaim aging, cultivate joy, and resist ageism. With wisdom from luminaries who light our way, Walrond helps us radiantly rebel against the fads and assumptions that hold us back, redefine the adventure of getting older, and create a shining future of expanded potential.

The Lightmaker's Manifesto

How to Work for Change without Losing Your Joy

The Lightmaker's Manifesto helps us name the skills, values, and actions that bring us joy and identify the causes that spark our empathy and concern. By unearthing our passions and gifts, we learn how to joyfully advocate for justice, peace, and liberation. We learn how to become makers of light.

The Beauty of Different

Observations of a Confident Misfit

Combining beautiful imagery, portraiture, insightful commentary, essays, and interviews, The Beauty of Different provokes deeper self-discovery and encourages the reader to reframe her differences, not as shortcomings, but as characteristics of distinction—maybe even superpowers.

"I think Karen Walrond might be a little bit of a good witch. It's the only thing that can explain how she always seems to write the exact right book I need at the exact right moment I need it!"
