Description

Career counselor Rick Jarow argues for a return to the concept of vocation-finding a "calling" instead of a job. Concentrating on the attributes of the body's energy centers, or chakras, Dr. Jarow shows how to form a bridge between personal priorities and external activities that allows strategies to be developed for finding a career that nourishes all aspects of ones life.

Reviews

"This wise and inspiring book can help you create a life that is a work of art." * Yoga Journal *
"Jarow writes almost like a poet, offering references to mythology, guided meditations, and thoughtful exercises. He brings each of the pieces into place with such clarity that they add, rather than detract, from this thought-provoking, affirming approach to life design." * Amherst Bulletin *
