A home for multipotentialites!

Well, I’m Walking on Air…

Holy crap! Did I just launch my book, How to Be Everything, at Powells in Portland?!By Emilie Wapnick

Hey multipotentialite friends,

What a wild week it’s been! Not only did How to Be Everything hit the shelves across North America, but the other day, Valerie and I finalized the sale on an adorable cabin we’ve been working on buying. Our first stab at home ownership! (For future reference, launching a book and buying a house at the same time is not recommended…but sometimes you just do what you need to do. Who ever heard of too much awesome, anyway?) In any case, I’m imagining multipotentialite Puttyretreats and loads of collaborative fun on our new little island in Canada. Who’s in? 😉

To those of you who picked up the book, I cannot thank you enough for your love, support, and sheer awesomeness. I hope you find HTBE useful and I really hope I did our community proud. I want to make it easier for multipotentialites to flourish and help the world better understand us. Hopefully How to Be Everything will make a difference in this way.

If I had to pick one highlight of the past week, it would be the book launch at Powell’s bookstore in Portland. Thought I’d share some photos of that day (and one little photo of the new house, cause I can’t help it):

Lots of love,

Your pal and fellow multipotentialite,

Emilie

    I just discovered your TED talk this morning and you have changed my life. I am and always have been a major Multipotentialite and never have gotten to be proud of it before. I have shared with my blog readers – who are SO in need of this information.

    And the new cabin looks divine.

    Off to buy your books now.

    My book is on pre-order so I am awaiting 15 June release date for UK! Was so pleased to find out about your work from Scott Barlow podcast, I have always wondered if I was on my own with this. For some time I have been wondering about branching out and making a current hobby part of my work-life. I am now going to read the book first!
    Thank you, hope you will be happy in the cabin.

    Anna 🙂

    Hi Emilie,

    congrats to you! Your book lies next to my pillow 🙂
    And I really love your house. It looks perfect. Cosy, unique, and somehow fairytale-like ….

    Thank you for sharing the pictures
