Thrive! is an invitation to remember what it means to be fully alive in a world that has forgotten how to nourish the human spirit. Drawing from lived experience, embodied wisdom, and deep relationship with the living Earth, Mark Tollefson and Meghan Maiya explore what it truly takes to thrive as human beings, not by striving harder, but by coming back into right relationship with body, Spirit, community, and the natural world. This book challenges the cultural stories that keep us fragmented and depleted, and offers a grounded, compassionate vision of what becomes possible when we live in alignment with Life itself.

Through reflections on elderhood, belonging, healing, and human potential, Thrive! weaves together personal narrative and universal truth. It speaks to those who sense there is more to life than survival and success as they have been defined for us. This is not a set of prescriptions, but a remembering. A call to slow down, listen more deeply, and reclaim the innate wisdom that already lives within us. Thrive! is for anyone who longs to live with greater meaning, vitality, and reverence, and who is ready to participate consciously in the unfolding of a more life affirming way of being human.

Reader Reviews

“I’ve been able to put the THRIVE teachings to immediate use in my daily life and have found a renewed sense of joy that seemed to have disappeared for a time. Each month we are given a new way to “’show up’ in the world, and to really immerse ourselves in a Nature based lifestyle. I’m learning to ‘listen within’. This process has so much power, compared to ‘going to an outside source’ for every answer.”
~Julie Connelly, Thrive! Graduate

“THRIVE has shifted a lot for me and how I show up in the world. These ceremonies have really resonated. This is one of the missing elements of what true connection can look like.”
~Gordon Mallonee, Thrive! Graduate

“THRIVE is a well thought out and put together program that is unique in the length and depth. You’re inviting people to strip their lives down and rebuild them based on blazingly honest self exploration and making their lives a ceremony! I recommend that they ask themselves if they feel really ready to take their life to the next level? If not, hold this program as something they can build up to.”
~Robin Fagnan, Thrive! Graduate

Store description

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
