THE WAY OF BEING LOST

Victoria Price

A Road Trip to My Truest Self

Victoria Price's THE WAY OF BEING LOST is a heartfelt and candid account of rediscovering one's sense of self after years of struggle. Despite doing "all the right things" and working to rebuild her life after a period of deep personal and professional turmoil, Victoria still felt something missing. She realized that in order to live her truest life, she had to be willing to become lost, and find her way back to her truest self.

Although initially reluctant, she began to engage with her father Vincent Price's fans, realizing her own place within the community and connecting with his legacy rather than distancing herself from it. As she got to know her father again through this work, Victoria realized that he embodied traits that she felt had disappeared from her own life: namely, an appreciation of the many joys that the world holds, as long as we're willing to stop and look at them. Highlighting the importance of a daily practice of joy ("the pure and simple delight in being alive"), this memoir is inspired by Victoria's weekly blog and is a reminder of the importance of making peace with our past stories in order to expand our futures and live our most authentic lives. Victoria is the author of critically acclaimed VINCENT PRICE: A Daughter's Biography (St. Martin's Press, 1999/Open Road and Secker & Warburg/Macmillan). A popular public speaker on topics ranging from art collecting to design and creativity as well as the life of her famous father, Price has appeared on Good Morning America, A&E's Biography, NPR's "Fresh Air," and her work has been featured in USA Today, People, Travel & Leisure, Art & Auction, and others.

Victoria Price has written a book that will ignite your soul. With remarkable bravery she shares her story - warts and all - of healing financial and emotional wounds through the daily practice of joy. Victoria's core message that it's never too late to fix old habits that no longer serve us is delivered in such a raw and intimate way that you can't help but be inspired to embark upon your own journey to joy.

The Way of Being Lost reminds us that the path to finding one's self can be the result of first being lost. A poignant story by the privileged daughter of a Hollywood icon reflecting back on a life spent lost but realizing life's greatest lessons often occur when one doesn't know where they are going.

The Way of Being Lost takes us on the most exquisite journey that one can take - the road home to one's true self... told through the particular lens of the author's life. Though it takes great courage to make this trip, the rewards are beyond measure. And in the case ofThe Way of Being Lost, the journey is beautifully told, universally relevant, and deeply meaningful.

Victoria Price's journey is a truly inspiring one. She looks both outward and inward to find joy all around her. She has been a close friend to me for years and I have always been moved by her story and thrilled that she is finally sharing it with the world.

Heartfelt testimony of an arduous search for self-affirmation that will appeal to fellow seekers.

In The Way of Being Lost, Victoria does what all of us wish to do - seeks out her own relationship with spirituality and makes the sacred a part of her everyday life, merely by observing the world around us in all its glory. Her writing shows the struggles of this way of being, but also its rewards.

Too often we think that to lead a spiritual life requires doing everything right. That is not just a tall order, it is an erroneous one. Spirituality is about a quest for a home in love, which we will find when we finally recognize that our truest selves are calling us home. As Victoria Price knows, this journey may come later than we hoped, but it bears the fruit of our life experience, and takes its own time to ripen. This beautiful recounting of Victoria's voyage shows us a path for discovering the Third Way and living it fully.

As one who's lost his way more than a few times, I found this book true to the bone, hopeful to the core, and wonderfully well-written. Victoria Price tells a personal story so brilliantly it allows her readers to shine a bright light on their own experiences of getting lost. In a world of so many lost souls, she points the way to true north.

Victoria Price writes beautifully of our need to forgive ourselves and others if we truly want to find happiness. Her journey through forgiveness and love shines with hard-earned wisdom, which she shares as a generous offering of her broken-open heart.

In her inspiring memoir The Way of Being Lost, Victoria Price walks us all back home. A must read for anyone who dares to live a life of joy.

Victoria Price boldly faces down the false lessons around money (and more) that she imbibed from an early age in this honest, relatable memoir. She comes out on the other side liberated from a desire to accumulate endlessly, embracing her own values instead of living by the standards of others. It's an inspiring journey to freedom that we can all relate to.

In this beautifully written memoir, modern-day mystic Victoria Price forges an intimate friendship with her true self and embarks on a journey to follow this friend wherever she is guided. This leads to a life overflowing with grace and humor, with deep darkness and sweet surprise. And we get to be the beneficiaries of this transformational adventure. What a wild and wondrous gift!

Intimate and brave, this wise memoir invites us to reexamine what we really want from our own lives - and empowers us, too, with real tools for reaching for the joy we all deserve.

The truest pilgrims are those who become so lost along the way that it takes a miracle or an angel to bring them to altar of their innermost heart's desire. Victoria Price's stirring memoir offers us the truest of all pilgrimage maps - the one that makes sense of the present by following highways and byways, the trails and barely discernible footpaths of the past, showing that all of it was necessary...all was as it should be...everything was blessed.

In this spirited, spiritual exploration of her own life and those of her famous parents - one joyous, one terrified - Victoria Price shows us with sword-sharp self-awareness how to face down our fears to find those happy true selves who have been waiting unseen inside us for gosh knows how long.

The Way of Being Lost is a beautifully written story of one's woman journey of healing to stand in the fullness of life that calls to us all. Joy is big medicine, and when Victoria Price decided to follow it wherever it would lead her, she embarked on the heroine's journey to her true self. May her courage to follow what is true inspire you to release the stories that were never yours and rekindle the courage to claim your truth.

Heartfelt testimony of an arduous search for self-affirmation that will appeal to fellow seekers. Read more...

Victoria Price understands as few do that we only get one chance at life, and she sees the harm we do to ourselves when we allow our light to hide under a bushel. In her memoir, Victoria models the bravery we all need to embrace love and life fully. It's a very easy read, and I highly recommend this book!

Victoria Price is a fighter - for her belief in a world that is connected by Love, and for her own connection to Joy. Her commitment to living as her truest self is an inspiration for us all - match point, Ms. Price.

A brilliant account of finding and following one's inner light by a true pioneer, that will help every reader do the same.
