Everybody always

Everybody always Becoming love in a world full of setbacks and difficult people

Bob Goff

Book - 2018

What happens when we stop avoiding difficult people and simply love everyone? In his wildly entertaining and inspiring follow-up to the New York Times bestselling phenomenon Love Does, Bob Goff takes readers on a life-altering journey into the secret of living without fear, care, constraint, or worry. The path toward the outsized, unfettered, liberated existence we all long for is found in a truth as simple to say as it is hard to do: love people, even the difficult ones, without distinction and without limits. Driven by Bob's trademark hilarious and insightful storytelling, Everybody, Always reveals the lessons Bob learned - often the hard way - about what it means to love without inhibition, insecurity, or restriction.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Goff¿founder of Love Does, an NGO that provides educational services to children in conflict zones¿laces together lively accounts of his casual and intimate interactions with people all over the world in this primer on becoming the essence of love. To Goff, ¿becoming love¿ is a central principle that directs his actions and service toward others. ¿People who are becoming love see the beauty in others even when their off-putting behavior makes for a pretty weird mask,¿ he says. Goff writes of his neighbor Carol, who, after she developed cancer, started chatting with him on a walkie-talkie each day to help her cope with her fears; an airport employee (Goff is also a pilot) whom he has helped with adoptions; and the Yazidi children he teaches in Northern Iraq. Readers will laugh at Goff¿s antics and musings amid his tireless work on behalf of others (¿We agreed if Sweet Maria ever decides to leave me, she has to take me with her,¿ he writes of his wife while describing the rocky start to their marriage), and skydiving trips with his son between welcome parties for refugees whom he helps to settle within the U.S. The remarkable breadth of Goff¿s experiences and humility of his approach will help his call for becoming love resonate with readers.
