The questions themselves are deceptively simple. "Who am I," "Where do I belong," and "Who loves me" are possible to answer in just a few sentences, but also demand a closer look. Author Joseph Nowinski uses these questions to urge us forward, looking at what our deepest wishes are and how to manifest them, rather than as an analysis of past behavior. Combining gentle encouragement with a sterner voice, he insists we get past the demands of society's rules and "shoulds" in order to find lasting satisfaction and reconciliation between our day-to-day lives and our larger dreams.
Simple exercises are included to help identify your temperament, talents, and desires, and Nowinski's continual use of case studies provides plenty of captivating personal stories. Most importantly, his positive focus repeatedly returns to the point that "what matters most is not the questions you've been asking yourself until now--it's your willingness to try asking yourself some new ones." --Jill Lightner
