<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Renaissance keys to discovering your talents, finding your purpose, and charting a happier, new direction in life<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>We've all asked ourselves, "What should I do with my life?" "Where am I going?" "Is this what I really want?" Whether you're graduating, changing careers, getting divorced, retiring, or just confused about what's next, <i>Your Personal Renaissance</i> will help you find your calling. Combining the lost wisdom of the Renaissance with groundbreaking research in positive psychology, this book approaches a calling in its original definition-not just a job, but a joyous, meaningful life. The book features an innovative program of contemplative steps (Discovery, Detachment, Discernment, and Direction) and practices that help readers combat overscheduling, stress, and depression-and change their lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><i>Boston Globe</i>, 6/1/08</b><br> "While initially I thought it might be just a tad forced to put the Renaissance together with self-help, this wise little book soon changed my mind... The book's message is bolstered with empowering success stories about Renaissance figures like da Vinci, Galileo, and Giotto. 'Renaissance' means 'rebirth, ' and when you think of it, what could be a more perfect metaphor for transformation?" <p/> San Jose Mercury News<br> "For those direction-less souls among us [Dreher] has some answers...A book for those who strive to make their life a work of art" <p/> Suite101.com<br> "Dreher lays out an orderly, well presented plan for moving to a life based on purpose...Following <i>Your Personal Renaissance</i> will require dedication, discipline, and a willingness to explore your inner thoughts and beliefs. Success at building life around purpose is well worth it." <p/><b><i>Career Planning and Adult Development Journal</i>, 2009-2010</b><br> "Dreher provides a powerful antidote to the <i>get happy quick</i> style of all too many self-help books...[A] well-written collection of practical and inspiring advice...Intentional career changers, people responding to changes in the economy and employment opportunity, and career professionals will all find this book profoundly valuable."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Diane Dreher, Ph.D.</b>, is the author of the bestselling <i>The Tao of Inner Peace</i>.
