Human: Expansive Edition (paperback, signed)
If you’re looking for deep and connected transformation, then you’re invited into a world of expansion! While most self-help books focus on our inner worlds, this book invites us to see where our inner and outer worlds come together, weaving our healing journeys into the larger thread of our humanity. “If you're reading this book,” writes Chip Skowron, former CEO of the Prison Entrepreneurship Program, “you’re being invited into something sacred. Not a self- improvement project, but a reorientation of your being.”
In this Expansive Edition, Vanessa Ferlaino revisits core themes of her award-winning book, “human”, five years later. With ripened wisdom and raw vulnerability, she challenges her own intentions, shares new revelations, and dives deeper into the vague experiences touched on in her previous work – and why she was unable to speak about them before. This edition features opening words by acclaimed mindfulness teacher, Hiro Demichelis; a foreword by Chip Skowron; a new introduction; the full first edition; and a hearty, all-encompassing reflection by the author.
“Deep within us, lies the entire world. I wrote this book to invite us all onto this journey of inner and outer transformation.” — Vanessa Ferlaino

Vanessa is humbled by the recognition from national and international news outlets, including CTV, CityNews, and more.
