Product Description
From Amazon
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

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

The reason that this book is being written, I believe, is that one day I "snapped" In August of 1993, at the moment that it happened I snapped - I was standing in the exact middle of my very small cottage in the East Bay hills of Richmond, California. Read the first page

A Good Starting Point,
By A Customer
This review is from: Purpose Of Your Life The (Paperback)
The optimism in this book combined with its emphasis on the link between intuition and synchronicity was infectious. I wanted to learn more! A new book that I stumbled across has become my companion to this one. It is called LUCKY YOU!, by Randall Fitzgerald, and it takes this book's themes and subject matter and adds to it information about using dreamwork and meditation practices and even prayer to help create streaks of good luck in our lives. Both books are relentlessly inspiring and full of optimism and hope. I liked all of the stories and the author's own anecdotes about creating good fortune.

Inspiring true stories and practical spirituality!,
By Tim Burness (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Purpose Of Your Life The (Paperback)
The co-author of The Celestine Prophecy Experiential Guide has put together this excellent collection of suggestions, ideas and true life stories to inspire one to find one's higher purpose, and a jolly good job it does! It is interesting, well-written and entertaining throughout, with each chapter finishing with a few straightforward questions and exercises to move you on in the right direction. Part three, "deep water", deals masterfully with the darker and more difficult experiences one sometimes has while trying to connect more deeply with the soul's purpose.A major theme is developing an awareness of synchronicity (meaningful co-incidence) experiences as guiding posts for deeper personal development. There are a large number of interviews with people from a wide range of backgrounds, all of whom have come to find their unique purpose through such ideas. Quotes from the famous such as the Dalai Lama and Frank Zappa (!), and not so famous are also highlighted throughout the text e.g."intuition is the creative, universal intention expressing through you" and "either I am lost, crazy and screwed up, or I am found and on a difficult part of the path". I found the chapter on "the void" particularly supportive, especially the section on "holding your centre during confusion, chaos and fear". Carol Adrienne is not afraid to explore the sometimes harsh realities of the spiritual journey, but the book is essentially upbeat and positively inspirational.
