An inspired book that helped me reveal a good use of my life

I was priveledged to read (and apply) an early manuscript of this book, and attend a workshop on the topic, led by Dick Richards, the author. The learning and discovery I enjoyed as a result has made a huge impact on my life: I know that some people who meditate and creatively visualize use trigger words to figuratively transport them to a safe haven where they can free their unconscience to do important work. I use my 'genius,' which I discovered with the help of this book, to both free my unconscience and remind my conscious mind of what it loves to do. Doing this has not only made my hard decisions easier and easy decisions faster, it has reconnected me with the 11-year-old-tomboy-warrior who knew exactly what she wanted in her life and never even considered not seizing it when she saw it. It used to be that when people asked me what age I would return to if I could, I told them '11.' Now, I'm 11 whenever I need to or want to be -- which, not surprisingly, is nearly every day. Thanks, Dick.
