Ways to help you find your best self [Live video chat]

Having a legendary grandfather, an acting career and enviable cheekbones isn’t enough to guarantee a happy life. Mariel Hemingway knows that intimately.

After searching for years, she has found the happiness equation that works for her. Her hope now is to inspire others to do as she did and find their best lives with her new documentary film, “Running From Crazy,” and book, “The WillingWay,” written with her business and romantic partner, Bobby Williams.

Her evolution has been a gift to her twentysomething daughters, one a model, one an artist. “It gives them permission to share what they’re going through,” she says.

If other people see their choices as a little odd, that’s OK, Hemingway says. “We want to inspire people to find the adventure that works for them.”
