Lost Ordinary Magic is a book about simple things (such as: being alone, nonsense, pockets and spontaneity) told through personal stories, and observations, that are universal. The forced complexity of modern life means we are so busy dealing with a constant babble of advertising, news and social media, that it can be easy to forget that life can be simple and, often, the things that connect us and bring us joy are simple too.This book is a chance to take a break from our chaotic world and reconnect with the Lost Ordinary Magic all around us.

A wryly funny and moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye.Teen idol at fifteen, international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood. The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family and sobriety. Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five years. These stories are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.
