About this ebook
“Gail has the ability to show us how to move our lives forward with power, dignity and grace . . . She is truly the Goddess of Creativity.” —Loretta LaRoche, bestselling author of Juicy Living, Juicy Aging
The world is on overload, at least from our modern-day Western perspective. Gail McMeekin believes that we can effectively reduce stress in our lives and bring more meaning into them, and she has developed a program to help people to do just that by showing them the power of making positive choices. Readers are taught to see their Serenity Stealers—issues, habits, people—that need to be “subtracted” from their lives. With those negative life choices gone—choices that deplete their energy and sidetrack them from their goals—readers are shown how to make positive life choices.
Carefully selected and added one at a time, these life choices will bring them closer to the joy and meaningfulness they need and desire. The Power of Positive Choices is short and brief by design. Filled with probing questions and helpful self-tests, it is “a brilliant distillation of the steps we each need to take to make the power of choice work . . . [a] clear, vibrant, go-go juice of a book” (Jennifer Louden, author of Why Bother?: Discover the Desire for What’s Next).
“By showing us how to confront and banish what’s holding us back and how to consciously choose what’s best in the long run, this book reminds us that we have choices that affect the quality of our lives and helps us create a life in which joy plays a leading role.” —Patti Breitman, author of How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty
