In this candid, insightful, and unconventional memoir, Goldie Hawn invites us to join her in an inspirational look back at the people, places, and events that have touched her. It is the spiritual journey of a heart in search of enlightenment.

With her trademark effervescence, Goldie delivers a personal look at private and powerful events that carried her through life: her father's spontaneity; her mother's courage; and the joy of being a daughter, a sister, a parent, and a lover. She writes about her childhood dreams of becoming a ballerina. She takes us on a tour of her go-go years in 1960s New York City, the phenomenon of TV's Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, her Oscar-winning debut in Cactus Flower and Hollywood stardom. She writes intimately about the challenges of love, anger and fear, and the importance of compassion and integrity. She speaks openly about her family, her partner Kurt Russell, her children; her faith, her curiosity for that which she doesn't yet know, and her thirst for knowledge. Most of all, it is a trip back through a life well lived by a woman well loved.

I read 'A Lotus Grows in The Mind' by Goldie Hawn at least ten years ago now and have never forgotten it.
I never expected much from it when I was given it, but within minutes I was hooked!
Goldie Hawn writes gently about her life and all it's drama but leaves the reader with a shifted mindset and craving the ability to approach life the way Goldie does. She strongly believes in fate and gives beautiful reflections on moments that have changed her life. She teaches the reader that crossroads are never easy for anyone.
