The premise of this book is that through his teachings Dr. John Demartini will demonstrate how to create a life of inspiration and fulfillment. This inspiration and fulfillment can be found within ourselves if we focus on living our own path and not swayed by social idealisms i.e. doing something because it is expected of us or trying to please others. Linking our own personal values to every task helps to relate daily and perhaps mundane activity into something more meaningful.
Many books tend to give a glib overview of different values and ask readers to select ones that resonate with them. This method tends to create an attachment to values which are ill-defined or open to interpretation and can cause confusion. What is refreshing about this book is that Demartini gives clear guidance about what values are and which are the most important to the reader as an individual.
The book is full of exercises and it is worth working through them slowly and deliberately as some of the exercises are extremely thought-provoking and deserve the time spent on them. Demartini demonstrates many of his points by introducing anecdotal stories which were enjoyable and memorable.
The writing style flows well and it feels as if Demartini is teaching his methods through a firm but practical approach.
This book is not for those that are looking for a quick fix. It offers guidance about the steps to take in order to discover what is truly important in life. As such I think it is a book that will be referred back to often.
