Your Life Story in Four Words

Be Do Give Love

What if the answers to life's biggest questions could be found in just four words? Be Do Give Love is a father-daughter memoir born in the aftermath of a winter funeral, a spring reboot, and a summer of road trips and reflection. What began as grief, trauma, and crisis became an unexpected opportunity to work together, launch a publishing imprint, and complete the work of bringing a grandfather's World War II memoir to a wider audience. At the heart of their journey is a framework not invented but revealed through lived experience, centered around four words and life's most basic questions: Be: Who am I? Do: What am I doing? Give: What difference does it make? Love: Why does it matter? With honesty, humor, and vulnerability, Erik Larson and Maddie Larson share stories of loss and renewal, breakdowns and breakthroughs, faith and doubt. Along the way, they expose the anti-truths that distract us from living with purpose. More than memoir, this book is an invitation: to discover identity before achievement, to choose generosity over scarcity, and to believe that your story, however ordinary, broken, or unexpected, is worth telling, and worth passing on.
