Inspired Living lays out a three-part plan to live out your calling by mastering your time, talent, and treasures. This process can take anyone, no matter their background, finances, or education, down the slow and steady path that leads to lasting transformation by helping put together the puzzle of their calling. Far from being a one size fits all approach, Inspired Living is a guidebook that contains exercises and steps that allow people to examine their own life, reflect on the good and the bad, and intentionally invest in themselves and others so they can develop influence and make real impact on the world. The focus is not on making massive shifts or dramatic changes but rather focusing on small, incremental steps that allow change to not only happen but stick. Individuals will find that they can leave bad habits behind, create good habits, and change the behaviors holding them back from living in alignment with their purpose. In addition, Inspired Living debunks the myths surrounding time and money, bringing to light the crucial role of self-management in determining their effectiveness. Step into the empowering world of Inspired Living and embark on your path to leaving a significant mark on the world, truly living your calling, and manifesting the best version of yourself.

This book is about learning to live your life more fully. It doesn't promise you abundant joy, the relationship of your dreams, untold riches or miracle cures. But what it does promise you is a comprehensive programme of personal development, change and growth that is highly effective. This coaching programme has been developed with two audiences in mind. The first is those who wish to coach themselves to success and who are confident about achieving positive results once they know the basic framework. The second audience is those who work as coaches and who are looking for new ideas and frameworks that they can build into their existing practice. Whatever has drawn you to this book - whether it is because you feel you have reached a crossroads in your life, because you have a very specific goal in mind, or because you are a coach looking for some fresh ideas - there is something here for you.

Our lives are as unique as our fingerprints. There are no two alike and each is so distinctly our own that it is capable of carrying our identity with just a single touch. Our homes can be just as distinct-- a unique expression and reflection of our personalities, an invigorating sanctuary that welcomes us just as we are. Interior and furniture designer by trade, and spiritual healer at heart, Bea Pila has created Sacred Spaces for Inspired Living as a guide to Design Enlightenment. Her pioneering movement and process grants us the freedom to tap into our hearts and souls as our guide, rather than past conventions of what should be and what once was.

In The Spiritual Child, psychologist Lisa Miller presents the next big idea in psychology: the science and the power of spirituality. She explains the clear, scientific link between spirituality and health and shows that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality: * are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances * are 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers * are 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex * have significantly more positive markers for thriving including an increased sense of meaning and purpose, and high levels of academic success. Combining cutting-edge research with broad anecdotal evidence from her work as a clinical psychologist to illustrate just how invaluable spirituality is to a child's mental and physical health, Miller translates these findings into practical advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop and encourage their children's—as well as their own—well-being. In this provocative, conversation-starting book, Dr. Miller presents us with a pioneering new way to think about parenting our modern youth.

When somebody throws the full weight of responsibility for your own happiness back on your shoulders, at first it feels a bit overwhelming - Like "where do I start?" That's what is great about this book from Chris Walker. He doesn't mess around with long stories about made up characters doing amazing transitions in their lives in three seconds. He just nails it and leaves us, the readers, to choose if we want to pay the price and focus on the issues. It's also great to find a book that broaches personal growth, relationship happiness and business. So often the three are split, so it can feel like we're three different people, but Walker talks about the affect one area of our lives can have on another. He really pushes the idea that it all begins with some inner stillness. In a rush, rush world where dog eat dog business is making people more competitive this book is a refreshing break. It's amazing that these Laws of Nature have been around for more than 4,000 years and got "lost" when religions took over. It seems so logical that they can actually help us be better people. There's no competition. At the end of each chapter there's a bunch of hints and tips, to help you along the way. This is where there's real life application. Things to do and most of them are so doable they can be part of your life by the end of a long flight and a good read. What are you waiting for? Go for it!
