Spirituality, optimism, career planning, and self-help neatly blend together in this highly useful guidebook on living one's true purpose. Step by step, Adrienne shows readers how to discover one's calling (learning how to take advantage of synchronicity, intuition, and "uncommon sense") and organize life accordingly. This coauthor of The Celestine Prophecy does not promise a payoff of material wealth or worldly fame. Rather, she suggests that "writing your own job description" and "doing the dream" will result in a more spiritual and meaningful life. Her most impressive leadership comes in the section called "Deep Water," where she addresses the obstacles and suffering that frequently block the path to enlightenment. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Booklist
Adrienne has made her reputation penning workbooks based upon James Redfield's popular Celestine Prophecy. In an easy, approachable tone, she now shares her own philosophy and life story. Gentle goodwill and ebulient optimism practically pour from every page, and her message is appealing. Who can resist her conviction that we all can find happiness and love, if not necessarily wealth and power (but maybe those, too), by just living the life we were intended to live? Adrienne is an energetic and authoritative storyteller who crafts wise parables from the life stories of those who, like her, have made a better life for themselves by positive thinking, paying close attention to intuition, and being attuned to a higher calling. She doesn't entirely avoid the shadow side of her subject, for she reminds us that a life's purpose is likely to include challenge and even suffering, but the sheer enthusiasm of her beliefs makes even the downside seem upbeat. Expect a groundswell of popular demand. Patricia Monaghan --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Book Description
The co-author of The Celestine Prophecy Experiential Guide helps readers uncover the unsuspected, untapped power of synchronicity and intuition that will bring success, satisfaction, and serenity.
Everyone really has a purpose in life, says Carol Adrienne in her new guide to harnessing the power inside yourself. The question is: How do you learn to go with the flow and let your true nature guide you?
Chapter by chapter, The Purpose of Your Life explains how to locate the source of your innate energy and focus it, how to align yourself with the natural forces that swirl around us always, and how to develop the intuition that fosters synchronicity. The book is packed with illuminating anecdotes and profiles of fascinating people -- from artists to urban planners to Zen masters -- who describe how they found their own purposes. There are practical exercises throughout, along with charts, self-questionnaires, and other tools that help you understand yourself and your deepest aspirations.
As you learn to recognize and trust the voice of intuition, you'll find new doors opening and new possibilities everywhere. You'll feel invigorated by the potential you've unleashed, a power that will only grow with each new accomplishment. And you'll discover the serenity and satisfaction that come only to those who are living life to the fullest. The Force is with you -- all you have to do is reach out and start to use it. |
