Publisher Description
“[Zhena] Muzyka’s charisma leaps off the pages of this unconventional, touching, and personal guide to success” (Publishers Weekly), featuring seventeen soulful lessons and simple rituals for finding your life’s purpose, improving your relationships, and becoming healthier—all in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Drawing on lessons she’s learned throughout her amazing and sometimes difficult life journey, the social entrepreneur and founder of Zhena’s Gypsy Tea shares seventeen soulful lessons to help you overcome obstacles, clarify your purpose, and bring awareness to each moment of your life. An inspiring roadmap for discovering the secrets of happiness and success for yourself at any stage in life, Life By the Cup’s message is that, no matter where you are, you can change your circumstances and live your dreams.
As a twenty-four-year-old single mom, Zhena had an infant in need of life-saving surgery and only six dollars in her wallet. She also had two other powerful motivators: hope and a passion to share her unique tea blends with the world. Combining her kitchen hobby of blending tea, her knowledge of herbs and aromatherapy, and her gypsy grandmother’s wisdom, Zhena started selling custom teas from a cart on California street corners. Now, over a decade later, her son is healthy and Zhena’s Gypsy Tea is a multimillion-dollar brand.
Zhena’s insights and gentle guidance will inspire you to increase your compassion toward others as well as yourself. You’ll also gain wisdom on how to hone your intuition, ask for help, and live out your true purpose without drastically changing the way you live. Discover your calling, bolster your courage, develop your own flavor of success, and you’ll see your own passion make a meaningful difference in the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Muzyka's charisma leaps off the pages of this unconventional, touching, and personal guide to success. Her son was born with a kidney disease that threatened his life and left Muzyka deep in debt after paying his surgery bills. Using her family's Gypsy teachings and her talent for crafting tea blends, she built Zhena's Gypsy Tea into a multimillion-dollar company. Her message about building a socially conscious tea business combine lessons from her bootstrap entrepreneurship (holding a "friends-and-family branding party") with self-improvement techniques such as meditation, reciting daily prayers, or keeping a journal. In a business memoir that recounts the origins of her original tea cart, her first visit to Sri Lankan tea fields, and her panic over a big purchase order, the author means for each chapter to be "read in the time it took to have a cup of tea." Just as she infuses her tea with meaning and passion, Muzyka's authenticity, artistry, and innate business sense make for a potent blend.
