I bought this book a year ago but, instead of reading it day by day through the year, I enjoyed several pages at a time. After all, it’s a another refreshing book by the audacious and always-entertaining Bob Goff. (My very short review is right before his photo.)
This year I plan to savor it, one day at a time.
Catching Whimsey: 365 Days of Possibility
From Amazon: Learn to pursue joy and savor life’s possibilities.
Because you can’t catch what you don’t chase.
Beloved bestselling author Bob Goff takes you on a yearlong journey into the uplifting, inspiring, and unexpected possibilities waiting for you every day. With his trademark storytelling and winsome take on life, Bob returns with Catching Whimsy, a 365-day devotional where he offers you a daily tap on the shoulder to remind you how over the moon God is about you and your beautiful, often complicated life.
Catching Whimsy will help you leave behind endless cycles of planning and floundering and instead wake up to the curiosity, delight, and possibility in this marvelous adventure called life. Each day of the year you will be:
- Inspired by a reading from the Bible that will help root you in God’s Word for the day
- Captivated and encouraged as Bob tells you stories that connect to your faith and how you can live today with purpose
- Gently nudged toward a life of satisfaction and possibility by insightful questions and prompts
You don’t have to stay stuck in ambivalence and paralysis, unsure of the right next step. Instead, get settled in God’s love for you and start journeying, wide-eyed and expectant, into a more meaningful life, a more engaged faith, and a more intentional future. Catching Whimsy will whisper some much-needed truth, hope, and whimsy into your days. You are only one or two decisions away from a more beautiful and winsome life; you just need to decide to access it through a door God leaves ajar for you each day.
My thoughts: What a mesmerizing collection of nuggets of wisdom, through the delightfully unique whimsy of the amazing Bob Goff!

I had read other Bob Goff books, and my reviews were even shorter than normal:
Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World. My review: Powerful, inspirational, and a delight to read.
Undistracted: Capture Your Purpose. Rediscover Your Joy. Review: Powerful (and fun) encouragement!
So good, Joy! Thank you! 🥰❤️🥰
I think we all could use some affirmation and whimsy these days.
Exactly!
Thanks for this information about Bob Goff’s helpful book, Joy, and it’s nice to learn about him.
He is such fun, and he shares his phone number at the end of every book! Who has the energy (and time) to do that???
Wow, Joy. Giving your phone number can be detrimental to someone as hard of hearing as I am.
Wow, yes. I really dislike talking on the phone.
Thank you, Joy, for introducing us to author Bob Goff. His books sound like wonderfully uplifting reads. 🙂
They are, Nancy, and such fun!
