Summary: Finding Your Best Life Path
Review: If you've ever felt like, "Some day, I'll know what I want to be when I grow up," and now you're beginning to wonder when (or if) that day will ever arrive, UNFOLDING is the book for you! Written by a spiritual scientist who believes in the wisdom of consciously working in collaboration with God, this excellent book provides you with tools you can use right now to find your best possible life path. When you learn the art of unfolding, you will remember how to be who you are, discover your purpose, develop your partnership with God, choose your soul's path, share your soul's gifts with others, and create healing in the world.

Julia Mossbridge is an award-winning neuroscientist who was inspired to become a life coach when she felt a need to find a more fulfilling life for herself. She knew that there was a lot of untapped potential inside of her, and when she set out to discover how to rebuild her life around who she really was, she was amazed at how much better that felt! UNFOLDING describes the process Mossbridge successfully teaches and uses to do the inner work required for living an outwardly successful life. Each section contains wonderful exercises that will help you see immediate results.

UNFOLDING is a friendly book that stimulates my imagination and delights my intellect, and I love it so much that I've been carrying it with me everywhere I go. I especially like the sections on "Creating Goal Communities," "Recognizing Splintered Paths," and the "Fear-Facing Practice." Another unexpected gem in this book is Mossbridge's amazingly clear explanation of how to integrate the seemingly opposite and unreconcilable philosophies of "Let Go, Let God," and "100 Percent Responsibility" when you create your partnership with God. For that section alone, this book is worth the purchase price!

Unfolding helps develop a blueprint towards what your soul is about.

Summary: A unique and helpful book
Review: Julia Mossbridge is writing from a unique perspective: she is a scientist AND a spiritual philosopher. She uses the combination of disciplines and the dual viewpoint to offer a map of your unknown world, the world inside of you that is constantly unfolding if and as you allow it. This is a tour de force -- but it's the user's force (strength) that is "toured." It feels more accurate to me to refer to "users" than "readers" because this definitely is NOT a sit-back-and-put-your-feet-up volume. While I was getting a lot out of it at first just by reading, I couldn't not start to do some of the exercises in the first section, "Discover," then went on to deeper adventures in the "Master" section. I can't wait to find out in the third part how I'm going to "Share" all the new parts of myself I find Unfolding. Original, useful, enticing, delicious. Beautiful, too -- amazon doesn't show the latest cover, which is beautifully designed, as are the font and pages. I highly recommend it, to novice discoverers and past masters alike.

Summary: Loaded with new ideas and ways of looking at life.
Review: The author believes that healing the world is a perpetual process that is supported by three continuously-evolving points of focus. Together, she calls these the steps of "unfolding":

(1) discovering exactly what your work is,

(2) mastering your work by nurturing your partnership with God,

and

(3) sharing your work with the world and, in so doing, sharing the work of world repair with others.

The book is split into three parts that each discuss one of these steps in detail. Each section is written in easy-to-digest pieces with lots of examples, experiments, and "sound bites" taken out of the text and highlighted for the impatient reader. Each of the three parts also ends with a "Soul Map" -- synthesizing exercises that make the work quite practical. The book also includes a "Laboratory Tool Kit," an appendix of experimental tools that beautifully allows for the reality that everyone is different and will resonate with different pratices, mediations, and rituals.

I truly enjoyed the unique way the author looked at the world, and the way she revealed her mistakes and confusion to me. I loved that the book wasn't trying to sell anything -- it seemed open and full of love. I received insights that I could use in my life, right now, and that was satisfying and useful. It's quite rich, full of unusual ideas, not to mention the real-world approach to spirituality that seems to be unique among self-help books.

The biggest blessing (and curse) of the book is that it is not "light" reading. The author is clearly serious about this work, and that makes me want to do it­ -- as I read, I get excited (and frightened) by it. Having done the work on my own, and having seen others do it through my workshop series, I am convinced that the true power of the book comes not from the book itself, but how it can be uniquely used by each person as a transformational catalyst.

For these reasons, I'd recommend this book to anyone who is willing to take the radical step of discovering their purpose and the even more radical step of fulfilling it.
