Campfire Within

by Scott Wurtzbacher

Foreword by Karen Darke

In a world where living vicariously through others has never been easier, true fulfillment still comes only through our own experiences. The Campfire Within represents our deep, inner desire to live fully and freely—a vibrant spark of aliveness that exists within each of us. Sometimes, we need a reminder that allowing this spark to burn brightly is a choice only we can make. By nurturing these flames, we open the door to a life of passion and freedom.

In this inspiring guide, Scott Wurtzbacher, host of the Inspire Campfire podcast, offers a simple, powerful map to reignite your inner fire. Through three transformative steps—Be Inspired, Be Open, Be Amazed—he weaves together his personal journey, stories from podcast guests, and actionable guidance to help you fan the flames of your potential. Packed with adventure, heart, and a deep sense of purpose, this book will ignite your soul and guide you toward a life beyond imagination.

FROM THE SPIRIT:

“Scott’s intention to do this program was genuinely to inspire others to become better human beings for one another. Genuinely thinking good and doing good is the only way to change the world into a better place. That has to start from oneself, and the first step is to have the right intention.”

Ugyen Tenzin Thinley Lhendup, (The 5th Khedrup Rinpoche), Buddhist Spiritual Leader, Sangchen Ogyen Tsuklag Monastery in Bhutan

FROM THE WILD:

Campfire Within is a fantastic read. Great personal stories are intertwined with practical advice. Due to his humble nature, Scott’s stories are very relatable. First thing I'll do today, is make a vision board.”
