Restless - by Kristen Mosier (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

FINALIST FOR THE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER (IPPY) BOOK AWARD 2026, Self-Help

Restless examines the root of our "grass is greener" tendencies and motivates us to find meaning right here, right now.

Do you often have this nagging sense that something better could be around the corner? Even when you're grateful for what you have, are you tormented by the suspicion that you should be on a different path? This restless feeling--of always wanting to chase something more or different--can feel like growth, but it's actually keeping you from finding happiness.

What if, instead, you could experience life fully, in the present moment--free of regret, indecision, and constant longing? That is what you'll find in Restless.

Inside you'll discover:

• The psychological, emotional, and cultural drivers of restlessness
• How restlessness shows up in our day-to-day (even when we love our lives!)
• Help decoding the message behind your feelings of restlessness
• Guided exercises for accessing your intuition and clarifying your values
• How cultivating presence is the key to feeling "alive"

Restless will remind you that you are enough, just as you are. It will help you find the deeper message beneath your discomfort and align your choices with what truly matters to you. Most importantly, you'll learn how to find the adventure, meaning, and inspiration you long for, right where you are.
