Summary

“I look to Scott for wisdom and leadership and he has delivered both with Big Love. This book opened my heart and mind and I’m forever grateful.”
— Glennon Doyle, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Love Warrior

What happens when you fully commit yourself to love? Endless good, insists Scott Stabile, who found that out by overcoming plenty of bad. His parents were murdered when he was fourteen. Nine years later, his brother died of a heroin overdose. Soon after that, Scott joined a cult that dominated his life for thirteen years before he summoned the courage to walk away. In Big Love, his insightful and refreshingly honest collection of personal essays, Scott relates these profound experiences as well as everyday struggles and triumphs in ways that are universally applicable, uplifting, and laugh-out-loud funny. Whether silencing shame, rebounding after failure, or moving forward despite fears, Scott shares hard-won insights that consistently return readers to love, both of themselves and others.

Scott Stabile has amassed a Facebook community of over 350,000 people with his inspirational quotes, posts and live videos. His previous works include Just Love, Iris, and the Li'l Pet Hospital series. Scott also wrote a feature film entitled The Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure. A regular contributor to the Huffington Post, Scott runs daylong, transformational workshops nationally and internationally. He lives in his home state of Michigan with his partner.
