Author.
Storyteller.
Lifelong Student of life.
At 89 years old, writer Shahen Guiragossian continues to explore the questions that define our lives: What gives life meaning? How do we measure a life well lived? And how do we know if we’ve spent our time on what truly matters?
Most people spend their lives moving forward—building careers, raising families, overcoming obstacles, and chasing the next milestone. Rarely do we stop to ask what it all means while we’re living it.
Through memoir, reflection, and storytelling, Shahen Guiragossian explores family, resilience, purpose, and the universal search for meaning. His writing encourages readers to look beyond accomplishments and consider the moments, relationships, and values that ultimately define a life.
Whether documenting his family’s journey in The Hawk or exploring fulfillment and purpose in Never Settled, his work invites readers to pause, reflect, and consider what truly matters.
The Questions That Shape Us.
The Hawk and Never Settled explore different aspects of the human experience. One looks outward to family history, resilience, and the legacy of those who came before us. The other looks inward, examining fulfillment, purpose, and the questions many of us quietly carry.
Whether you’re drawn to memoir, personal reflection, or stories of perseverance, each book offers a unique perspective and can be enjoyed on its own.
