The one common point and purpose of living that binds us all is to learn how to build a life of maximum happiness and minimal pain. The author’s chance spiritual awakening nearly three decades ago, gave her access to the truths of life and transformed her understanding. She has been living in the light of this wisdom ever since.
When she turned 60, she decided to share with us her treasure trove of insights. The importance of doing the right thing consistently. To distinguish between what matters and what does not. To chisel the ego. The importance of family. The wisdom that comes from Nature. Taking full responsibility for one’s life. The vital power of self-esteem. Becoming real. The importance of taking back your power. And so much else. This practical and essential guidebook contains lessons that will help you negotiate the pitfalls and minefields of life.
They will infuse you with hope and inspiration. They will enable you to make the right choices. They will support you to build better relationships, starting with yourself. They will help you to understand life. This book could be the friend you are looking for!
