WAMG Recommends the New Book by Victoria Price, Author of ‘Vincent Price – A Daughter’s Biography’
THE WAY OF BEING LOST, the new book from Victoria Price, Author of ‘Vincent Price – A Daughter’s Biography’ will be available February 14th from Ixia Books. It can be pre-ordered on Amazon HERE
Despite doing “all the right things” and successfully rebuilding her life after a period of deep personal and professional turmoil where she lost almost everything, Victoria Price still felt something profoundly missing from her life. Victoria Price’s THE WAY OF BEING LOST: A Road Trip to My Truest Self (Ixia, February 14, 2018, Hardcover, eBook) is a heartfelt, candid account of rediscovering her joy and purpose after years of struggle.
She realized that in order to live her truest life, she had to be willing to let go of her fears and get lost in order to find her way back to her truest self. Doing so meant re-programming the messages she had internalized while growing up , taking inspiration from her father Vincent Price’s example. As she got to know her father again through attending horror conventions and celebrations of his life, Victoria saw that Vincent embodied traits that had disappeared from her own life: his love for people and compassion for others, his generosity of spirit and simple kindnesses, his enthusiasm for new experiences, and his love of life. Embracing her own spirituality and letting herself detach from other people’s expectations, Victoria found a new way to embrace life. Highlighting the importance of a daily practice of joy — the pure and simple delight in being alive –, THE WAY OF BEING LOST is a reminder of the importance of making peace with our past in order to expand our futures and live our most authentic lives.
