This collection, drawn from the riveting live storytelling of The Moth, captures the essence of human courage, resilience, and the unyielding pursuit of discovery. Through the voices of a diverse cast, including luminaries like Louis C.K., Tig Notaro, John Turturro, and Meg Wolitzer, alongside astronomers, refugees, spies, and more, we are invited on an intimate journey into the unknown. Each story, a beacon of the extraordinary moments that define us, challenges us to embrace vulnerability and the transformative power of sharing our most authentic selves.

Reading one short (2–5-page) story over tea or coffee in the morning is a nice jumpstart to the day. - Tim Ferriss
This is what I know. In the deepest, blackest night of despair, if you can get just one pinhole of light…all of grace rushes in.
