Create Out Loud With Jennifer Louden32 | Infusing Our Life Experience (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly) Into Our Work w/ Ruth OzekiThough she's now considered one of America's most important novelists, Ruth Ozeki didn't think of herself as a writer until her 30s.

Because ALL experiences end up serving us in the end, right? Among other things, Ruth and Jen discuss:

The Shift with Sam BakerRuth Ozeki on why menopause is the new adolescenceMy guest this week is a novelist, film-maker - and Zen Buddhist priest. Ruth Ozeki was born in Conneticut in the 1950s to a Japanese mother and, as she puts it, caucasian anthropologist father. Despite always wanting to write, she didn’t publish her first novel until she was 40, because, in part, she “didn’t feel entitled to”. She needn’t have worried. That novel, My Year Of Meats, won the Kiriyama Prize and the American Book Award, and her third A Tale For The Time Being, was shortlisted for the Man Booker prize in 2013.
