Does the road to self-discovery really have to be so long and
torturous? Not at all! Cut decades off the process and take a major
shortcut on the road to clarifying your true purpose, says Dr. Brad
Swift: Just follow the six steps, or "passages," that he
outlines-and infuse purpose into every aspect of your life.

The
Geography of Bliss:
One Grump’s Search for the Happiest
Places in the World
by
Eric
Weiner
Fortified with Eeyoreish fatalism—I’m
already unhappy. I have nothing to
lose—self-confessed grump Eric “Whiner”
took a yearlong tour of a very unusual
assortment of countries (sample:
Holland, Qatar, Bhutan and Iceland),
most of which have been chosen because
they are home to some of the happiest
resident populations in the world,
(although a couple are chosen to present
a contrast). Weiner is confronted with a
few inconvenient truths. Contrary to
expectations, neither greater social
equality nor greater cultural diversity
is associated with greater happiness.

To Build the Life You Want, Create the Work You Love : The Spiritual Dimension of Entrepreneuring
by Marsha Sinetar
Well written, powerfully concise and to the point.
For anyone who has been or is in a career
transition, in the midst of finding and/or creating
a business of their own, for anyone who has been
looking for the "answer" in what to do next and how,
for anyone who has been exploring and trying all
kinds of stuff but hasn't found "that thing" that
you can call fulfilling work - READ THIS BOOK! |
 |
Life is a Verb is brilliantly-crafted,
raw, gorgeously-designed, and daringly different from
'self-help' books. It relates, through stories that
sparkle and astonish and soar, how to move, to be on
your way, to realize who
you really are through your actions.
Through exercises that you participate in, as if in
conversation with the author, you will learn, as she
promises in the prologue, 'deeper things—how to know
what to care about, how to treat others around you (and
yourself), what to question, how to love, what to stand
up for, and why you should tell stories and listen to
the stories of others.' There is no more important
learning. |

Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace .
. . One School at a Time
by Greg Mortenson and
David Oliver Relin
Some failures lead to
phenomenal successes, and this American nurse’s
unsuccessful attempt to climb K2, the world’s second
tallest mountain, is one of them. Dangerously ill when
he finished his climb in 1993, Mortenson was sheltered
for seven weeks by the small Pakistani village of Korphe;
in return, he promised to build the impoverished town’s
first school, a project that grew into the Central Asia
Institute, which has since constructed more than 50
schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan |
