Customer Reviews

Inspiring true stories and practical spirituality!

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.

A helpful guide book to finding your life's purpose

The is a wonderfully written and helpful book. If you feel that you're somehow missing your life's calling, but at the same time can't easily identify what your life's calling is - read this and save yourself some trouble. I can honestly say this is one of the best books I've ever read. It combines guides for using your intuition and the synchronisities that appear in your life (if you're paying attention to them!) with exercises that really help you identify what you may be looking for in your life. It's a keeper - buy it!

Very Clear, Very Real

This book is outstanding. I was moved to buy this book since I've read all of the Celestine books and worked with the experiential guides that Carol wrote. This book is full of insight and depth, while in understandable and easy terms. The exercises along the way are thought-provoking and are applicable to real life situations. One example in the book was so close to what I am experiencing that I thought I had talked to her myself and given the example! I love the open feel and non-judgemental flair of her writing. If you are interested in discovering yourself in a meaningful way, this book is a helpful resource. I'll be recommending this book as a must read for my own clients.

Excellent book!

This is an excellent book for anyone struggling with their life purpose. The book is an easy read with many real life examples illustrating the many points made in the book. I highly recommend this book to everyone even if you aren't seeking your life purpose. If only I'd read this book before spending countless hours belaboring my life purpose.
