Words from the Window Seat: The Everyday Magic of Kindness, Courage, and Being Your True Self

Written by Taylor Tippett

Narrated by Chloe Dolandis

Flight attendant Taylor Tippett had just finished beverage service and was sitting in the back of a Boeing 737 when she had a revelation: How can I show kindness to these passengers if I can't show it to myself? She grabbed a tiny notepad and a Sharpie and wrote a simple message that would change her life: "Be kind to yourself."

Before she had time to think about it, Taylor taped the note to a window, posted a picture, and then left the slip of paper in a seat-back pocket for someone on the next flight to find. What started as a personal project to encourage herself and others soon became a viral sensation.

In Words from the Window Seat, Taylor shares stories of her travels, daily life, and interactions with people of all kinds, anchoring each chapter around a note she's left for a stranger to find. As she takes you from Chicago to Paris to Barcelona on planes, trains, and even a skateboard, you'll:

• Learn how to embody love through little acts of kindness
• Discover the small moments of magic in the everyday
• Find ways to embrace your authentic self

With charm, inspiration, and plenty of whimsy, Taylor reminds us that even in a weary world, it's possible to celebrate the beauty in each person's unique story--and make an impact that goes deeper than you'll ever know.

I smiled. My eyes grew wide and my jaw dropped. I laughed. I started tearing up. I shouted on the inside. I said yes while pumping my fist.
I did all of those things multiple times.
And…I am a GUY!

Taylor’s book is doused with femininity throughout, yet it is uplifting and joyous and is good for the soul-whether you are male or female.

Ironically enough, I found out about this book from an American Airlines flight attendant who was one of my passengers.

She was bemoaning the fact that she had forgotten a book on one of her flights and as they were trying to track down where that plane was going so she could get her book back I asked her for the title and I looked it up on Scribd and lo and behold there it was!

I told her about Scribd and I showed her the audiobook and told her I was going to be listening to it.

Highly recommended!

You will feel like Taylor is your buddy upon finishing this book. I know I’ll be listening to it again in the near future.
