A "fast read" for those more metaphysically oriented

This is a text about a young woman's journey transitioning from fitting into the typical professional American mold to a totally unconventional profession: that of a "light worker". Ann describes how she was raised in a two income household and the emotional difficulties associated therein (i.e. money creates tension within the family, offspring feel the effects, responsibilities, etc). There is the perpetual pressure placed upon the kids to become professionals as they age. Thusly, the common associations attach (i.e. "Hi, I'm a doctor." Hi, I'm an engineer." etc) when they become adults. The folks who fit this mold are "professionals" in the upper echelon of respect in society rather than individuals. Ann clearly conveys that she would rather introduce herself as Ann than as engineer Ann. Effectively, the folks financed a private education that the children were expected to live up to and Ann had great emotional difficulty breaking out of this mold. Ann discusses the tremendous emotional turmoil she endured transitioning from society's/her parent's mold of what a person should be to what makes her happy. She extensively discusses several major points in her life's transition in very descriptive detail. At first, I found myself thinking, "Good lord, this woman is an emotional basketcase. How can anyone tolerate her manic depressive swings? Moreover, how did they tolerate her at Honeywell? What's more, why am I reading 3 pages of this process?" But as I continued to read, her very descriptive style of writing won me over. I say this because the pages she uses to describe her emotional swings ultimately show the reader how she transitioned. The descriptions of her earlier phases in life are necessary to show a reader how they too may find an alternate passion that is "OK" in the grander scheme of things. (In other words, a person just doesn't state one day "I'm sick of engineering, medicine, law, I'm going to be a medium" but rather, there is this tremendous emotional process a reader going through this transition can identify with.) This is not a "how to" book, but an autobiography geared towards anyone with an ear. Admittedly, this text will probably appeal more to those considering become individuals again rather than society's professionals. Those who enjoy being professionals and the associations therein will probably have a more difficult time driving the emotional swings. Regardless, this is a very fast read.

Honest and Beautiful

It was very helpful for me to read Ann's story of transition from a hectic, "important", type A career world into one of sprituality and healing. I've often felt alone in this transition and really enjoyed the way Ann describes her often painful journey along the way. It's a good read for anyone "seeking".

Warm, honest, sensitive and helpful

This is not the book I expected. It exceeded all my expectations. Ms. Albers touches on subjects most of us would be unwilling to expose in ourselves. She does it with such grace, insight and sensitivity, yet with undeniable honesty. If you are struggling with self-worth, professional anxiety, and general lack of happiness this book could help you work through it all.
