The Ways and Means

The Ways and Means is the deeply reflective memoir of Scott Woster - a man who followed all the rules laid out before him, only to discover they weren't his own.

Raised in a loving, middle-class Midwestern family, Scott had every advantage and every expectation: education, career, faith, family. Yet the more he tried to walk the path before him, the further he felt from his own truth. Deeply rooted anxiety, chronic illness and an inexplicable restlessness forced him to confront the difference between living a good life and living his life.

Through humor, humility, and hard-earned insight, Scott shares his journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance - a path marked by paralyzing anxiety, physical exhaustion, spiritual renewal and an eventual awakening to the simple truth that heaven had been with him all along. Along the way, he discovers love, fatherhood and the grace of being fully present.

Interwoven with the lyrical spirit of a music lover and storyteller, The Ways and Means invites readers to consider their own inner compass - and to recognize that the light we seek often shines from within.

As Scott's original song reminds us:

"Truth is in front of you, heaven is where you stand.

You've got the ways and means in the palm of your hand."
