The Good Life with Michele Lamoureux

What does it mean to find your purpose? Purpose, meaning, and change are even more a part of our lives now than they were when I first launched The Good Life Coach.  In today’s episode, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Genova joins me for a deep conversation about life, including how she followed her purpose during uncertain times.  Lisa was my very first guest, and I’m so excited that she returned for this special second anniversary episode of the show. Tapping into her background as a neuroscientist, Lisa has written five best-selling fiction books, including “Still Alice” (Julianne Moore won an Oscar in 2015 for her role in the film adaptation).  Since we recorded, Lisa revealed that Angelina Jolie and Christoph Waltz are slated to star in the film adaptation of her most recent novel, “Every Note Played.”  Her latest work, and first nonfiction book, “Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting” is now available for pre-order. From a TED Talk with over five million views to appearances on the Today Show, CNN, and NPR, Lisa’s spirited voice reaches many. All of the show notes can be found at thegoodlifecoach.com/104
