Thrive! is an invitation to remember what it means to be fully alive in a world that has forgotten how to nourish the human spirit. Drawing from lived experience, embodied wisdom, and deep relationship with the living Earth, Mark Tollefson and Meghan Maiya explore what it truly takes to thrive as human beings, not by striving harder, but by coming back into right relationship with body, Spirit, community, and the natural world. This book challenges the cultural stories that keep us fragmented and depleted, and offers a grounded, compassionate vision of what becomes possible when we live in alignment with Life itself.

Through reflections on elderhood, belonging, healing, and human potential, Thrive! weaves together personal narrative and universal truth. It speaks to those who sense there is more to life than survival and success as they have been defined for us. This is not a set of prescriptions, but a remembering. A call to slow down, listen more deeply, and reclaim the innate wisdom that already lives within us. Thrive! is for anyone who longs to live with greater meaning, vitality, and reverence, and who is ready to participate consciously in the unfolding of a more life affirming way of being human.
