The Waggle Dance offers advice and mentorship in a humble and intimate way, using first-person narratives, tender letters to a child, Bible verses, and thought-provoking questions. Simply put, a waggle dance is how bees share information to help each other survive. In The Waggle Dance, Courtney Youngs shares important lessons learned from her own mentors and life experiences. In a playful, storytelling style, Courtney cuts through the confusion in life and helps us see clearly the rich rewards our experiences can bring us. Youngs’s stories each contain a hopeful message, which will motivate you to think better, do better, be better. You will learn that When you’re stuck in the past, just keep moving forward. When your path feels long, remember that our paths are seldom straight. Life is for the figuring it out—the loving, the messing up, and the waking up every day grateful that you get the chance to try it all again. Using the theory that hard seasons are our best teachers, Courtney talks about death, divorce, new careers, unlikely relationships, and her journey of becoming a mom. She introduces readers to some of the most influential people in her life and shares her discoveries in faith, friendship, and everything in between. Each chapter ends with motherly advice in the form of a letter written directly to her son, “Little Bee.” Her approach is one of humility, as a learner and not an expert who has it all figured out. The Waggle Dance comes from the perspective of a trusted friend, someone to help you see your way through the hard times in life—with a few laughs thrown in.
