Raves and Reviews
'Alex has a sharp gift for reminding us that the lives we build are shaped by the company we choose to keep, including the relationship we have with ourselves. This book is a gentle but powerful invitation to release what no longer nurtures us and to move toward people, practices and truths that do. Thoughtful, grounding and deeply affirming, The Company We Keep is a reminder that peace, belonging and growth are never big accidents, but instead tiny choices we make again and again.'
