How to want more without feeling guilty for book clubs: honest answers for Vineyard

A guide for Vineyard · no hustle required

Ask around Vineyard and most people will tell you they're grateful. Ask them what they're building next and the room gets quieter. That silence is the whole subject of this page.

And this is Vineyard: an established Provo-Orem-area community where the houses are cared for, the calendars are full, and the question 'is this all?' shows up right on schedule Which is why real progress here starts with naming the specific, not the abstract.

🎧 A note for Vineyard readers (audio, ~20 seconds)

“Gratitude and growth can coexist.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

What comfort looks like when it's gone quiet

Your weeks are full, but your growth has been on standby for a while now.
You scroll past people doing brave things and feel a ping you immediately explain away.
You've started saying 'someday' the way other people say 'never.'

The one-sentence audit

Finish this sentence in your notes: 'I am grateful for ___, and I am avoiding ___.' No editing, no explaining.
Reread it tomorrow. The second blank is your next 30 days in Vineyard.

You can grieve nothing about your life and still feel the pull toward more. That pull isn't ingratitude. It's direction.

Which kind of reader it's for

There are books that fire you up for a week, and books that recalibrate a decade. Readers describe this one as the second kind — the rare title that gets more useful as your life gets fuller.

What Vineyard readers want to know

Is this a religious book? No — it's a personal-growth memoir-essay hybrid with universal themes. Readers of any background (or none) quote it the same way.

Is this aimed at women? It's written with a broad, warm voice that lands strongly with women 30-60 — book-club favorite territory — and plenty of husbands keep borrowing it.
