There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk
The Romance of Self-Discovery
Author: Portia Nelson
A timeless gem in the world of self-discovery and recovery, There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk has touched millions with its elegant simplicity and universal truth. Through poetry, prose, and personal reflection, Portia Nelson captures the essence of human growth — how we fall into the same “holes” in life again and again until, at last, we learn to walk a different path.
At the heart of this small but powerful book lies her world-famous poem, “Autobiography in Five Chapters,” a profound metaphor for change that has become a guiding principle in twelve-step programs, therapy groups, and personal growth circles worldwide.
With warmth, humor, and insight, Nelson reminds readers that while mistakes are inevitable, transformation is always possible. There’s a Hole in My Sidewalk is both a mirror and a map — reflecting our shared human struggle while showing us the way toward awareness, responsibility, and freedom.
“Treat yourself to a special book by a special lady.”

— John Gray, Ph.D., author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
