Summary: Inspiring true stories and practical spirituality!
Review: The co-author of The Celestine Prophecy Experiential Guide has put together this excellent collection of suggestions, ideas and true life stories to inspire one to find one's higher purpose, and a jolly good job it does! It is interesting, well-written and entertaining throughout, with each chapter finishing with a few straightforward questions and exercises to move you on in the right direction. Part three, "deep water", deals masterfully with the darker and more difficult experiences one sometimes has while trying to connect more deeply with the soul's purpose.A major theme is developing an awareness of synchronicity (meaningful co-incidence) experiences as guiding posts for deeper personal development. There are a large number of interviews with people from a wide range of backgrounds, all of whom have come to find their unique purpose through such ideas. Quotes from the famous such as the Dalai Lama and Frank Zappa (!), and not so famous are also highlighted throughout the text e.g."intuition is the creative, universal intention expressing through you" and "either I am lost, crazy and screwed up, or I am found and on a difficult part of the path". I found the chapter on "the void" particularly supportive, especially the section on "holding your centre during confusion, chaos and fear". Carol Adrienne is not afraid to explore the sometimes harsh realities of the spiritual journey, but the book is essentially upbeat and positively inspirational.

Summary: A helpful guide book to finding your life's purpose
Review: The is a wonderfully written and helpful book. If you feel that you're somehow missing your life's calling, but at the same time can't easily identify what your life's calling is - read this and save yourself some trouble. I can honestly say this is one of the best books I've ever read. It combines guides for using your intuition and the synchronisities that appear in your life (if you're paying attention to them!) with exercises that really help you identify what you may be looking for in your life. It's a keeper - buy it!

Summary: A Good Starting Point
Review: The optimism in this book combined with its emphasis on the link between intuition and synchronicity was infectious. I wanted to learn more! A new book that I stumbled across has become my companion to this one. It is called LUCKY YOU!, by Randall Fitzgerald, and it takes this book's themes and subject matter and adds to it information about using dreamwork and meditation practices and even prayer to help create streaks of good luck in our lives. Both books are relentlessly inspiring and full of optimism and hope. I liked all of the stories and the author's own anecdotes about creating good fortune.

Summary: Do You Notice Coincidence?
Review: The Purpose of Your Life found it's way into my life just as I was embarking on a journey to build my own business. The advice and message couldn't have arrived at a better time. If you are in transition or looking for the courage to take the first step toward a new life this is the book for you! I enjoyed Carol's message so much that I included this book in the suggested reading list of my own book titled, Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life.

Summary: A beacon for those who want to live in peace and joy !l
Review: The purpose of your life is a truely spirit driven book which should of been called a manual. It so clearly and randomly gives full inspiration and guidance to all who strive daily to feel that need to fill themselves with desensitized toxic moments. Each passage and chapter has the capability to unlock the doors that has kept us away from feeling our true selves, our lovable selves and begin to enjoy the real meaning of life, and that is to just " be". Enjoy being yourself is unfortunately something that for most of us has never been experienced. Carol has been given the magical moments of inspiration to show us how to achieve the serenity and joy in our lives that we all deserve. When I read this delicious book, I knew in my heart that all Carol writes about is true because I believe the same and her writings were a great validation in my life. Thank you Carol for having the courage and love for such a beautiful awakening. You are truly blessed. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to Part II. You go girl!

Summary: Sparks your awareness
Review: This book found me while I was visiting a book store on a business trip in early 1999. It teaches one to open up to the "gut instincts" we all experience and have been taught to ignore. I for one became more aware of what life had in store for me - mainly by acknowledging my intuition and repetitive messages. Carole Adrienne's stories and life experience are fascinating. I for one would not be able to drop everything in pursuit of what life had in store for me. That in itself is the challenge we all face and part of the message this book brings - having the courage to listen to what we are being told and what we FEEL. Then acting on it! One of my favorite books of 1999.

Summary: Very Clear, Very Real
Review: This book is outstanding. I was moved to buy this book since I've read all of the Celestine books and worked with the experiential guides that Carol wrote. This book is full of insight and depth, while in understandable and easy terms. The exercises along the way are thought-provoking and are applicable to real life situations. One example in the book was so close to what I am experiencing that I thought I had talked to her myself and given the example! I love the open feel and non-judgemental flair of her writing. If you are interested in discovering yourself in a meaningful way, this book is a helpful resource. I'll be recommending this book as a must read for my own clients.

Summary: This book really helped me.
Review: This book really helped me. I have just finished it and my feeling is that I miss a friend. As if someone had traveled to a very far place. But my hope is that one day - I established six months - I will be able to reencounter this missed friend. I will read the book again with the certainty that I will discover new perspectives in my life. I wrote this review with the sincerely hope that by reading it someone else could be helped by the beliefs transmitted by the book from Carol.
