Centered around the touchstone stories Jen tells in her popular workshops, On Being Human is the story of how a starved person grew into the exuberant woman she was meant to be all along by battling the demons within and winning. Jen did not intend to become a yoga teacher, but when she was given the opportunity to host her own retreats, she left her 13-year waitressing job and said "yes", despite crippling fears of her inexperience and her own potential.

Set in 2016 at the edge of our modern times, Jane Ambrose is a woman trying to reconcile the joyous mediocrity of middle-aged life until one night out ends in the ultimate tragedy. Formerly a producer for Blake Edwards, one of television’s biggest broadcasters, Jane felt destined for an extraordinary life. But when her romance and career with Blake unceremoniously ended, she found herself picking up the pieces with another dreamer gone astray, Theo Karras, a former LA Dodger whose career was also derailed.

Jen Pastiloff convinced herself My life is fine and fine’s enough, until the whisper that something was missing turned full-on scream. This is Pastiloff’s account of how she reclaimed her voice and desire by radically changing her life. She did this despite believing that change equaled death ever since her beloved father died when she was eight. (Much to her shock, change did not equal death.) She shows us it is never too late to begin again, or to let go of stories like: I don’t deserve this; I don’t get to be happy; no one will love me; I’m too old, to name a few.
