Soul on the Run is a deeply introspective and candid memoir that captures one woman’s courageous journey of self-discovery. Robin Korth lays bare the raw and often painful process of peeling back the layers of a life lived under the weight of pretense and expectations. With unflinching honesty, Korth confronts her personal struggles and the quest for meaning, using her own story as a mirror for readers to reflect on their own lives.

The book is filled with pithy, sharp insights and moments of humor, even as it tackles deep questions about joy, fulfillment, and the need for authenticity. Korth’s writing is powerful and evocative, inviting readers to join her in the search for personal truth. Her experiences, both heart-wrenching and liberating, push us to consider how we approach our own lives and whether we’re truly living for ourselves or playing a role.

Korth’s journey is also a reminder that it is never too late to start over, to reinvent ourselves, and to pursue a life that feels more aligned with our true selves. Her exploration of life’s deeper meanings—mixed with moments of mysticism and common-sense wisdom—makes this memoir a thought-provoking and inspiring read.

Soul on the Run is a compelling invitation to face your own fears and desires, to shed the masks we wear, and to embrace the transformative power of honesty and self-awareness. While some moments may be uncomfortable, the raw vulnerability Korth shares makes the book resonate with authenticity and courage, making it a rewarding read for anyone seeking a path to personal freedom and joy.

Robin chronicles her life from her early 20s with anorexia and bulimia to alcohol in her 50s. She realized she needed to find her true self. Her path was hard and she tells us how the road to find ourselves is personal.

I spent over a year working on healing my soul. This book complements that work. Although this is a short book, the message is powerful. If you are looking for uplifting messages this is a nice book. She includes a few lines from my favorite poem, Desiderata.
