"The Book the Self-Help Industry Never Wanted Her to Write" (TIME Magazine)
Most self-help books give you more to do. This one asks a different question: Who are you being as you do any of it?
You've done the therapy. Read the books. Journaled, meditated, optimized. And still, something feels off. Like you're running a race no one asked you to enter and the finish line keeps moving.
That's because no amount of doing will get you to being. And that's the shift this book is about.
Dr. Stefanie Kleine spent decades as a high-achieving "professional doer" before discovering that no credential, no healing modality, and no amount of self-improvement could outrun the ache underneath. Drawing from her doctorate in psychology, over twenty years of transformational coaching, and her work co-founding one of America's top-rated psychedelic retreat centers, she offers a warm, practical framework for the shift from human doing to human being.
Inside you'll find the Being Pause, a simple, repeatable practice that interrupts the cycle of reactivity and returns you to yourself before you reach for the next fix. From there, the book takes you into the places life actually gets hard: pain, the body, relationships, perspective, and the way we pursue what we want.
Part memoir, part framework, part invitation. For anyone ready to stop performing their life and start living it.

Stefanie Kleine seemingly has it all... a highly successful career, an excessive number of degrees, loving parents, devoted friends, and great legs. The only thing she has not been able to accomplish is finding the right person to share her life with. In this no-holds-barred memoir, Stefanie takes us on her brutally honest, hilarious, heartbreaking, and at-times utterly bizarre quest to find true love.
Some Mistakes Are Great Kissers is the story of a modern woman who has bravely refused to settle. Stefanie is raw, relatable, unapologetic, and utterly hysterical as she recounts her experiences in the dating world. From freezing her eggs to flying home in the middle of the night in a sexy cat costume to calling an ambulance for an emergency sex injury, Stefanie shares the inspiring tale of how she has boldly stared her pain and insecurities in the eye, and somehow managed to summon the strength to forge ahead.
For anyone who is (or has ever been) deep in the trenches of dating, this book serves as a reminder to search for the lesson in every relationship and find the humor in a life that doesn’t always go as planned.
