New York Times bestselling author and Life Designs, Inc. creator Martha Beck shares her step-by-step program that will guide you to fulfill your own potential and create a joyful life. In this book, you'll start by learning how to read the internal compasses already built into your brain and body--and why you may have spent your life ignoring their signals. As you become reacquainted with your own deepest desires, you'll identify and repair any unconscious beliefs or unhealed emotional wounds that may be blocking your progress. This will change your life, but don't worry--although every life is unique, major transformations have common elements, and Beck provides a map that will guide you through your own life changes. You'll learn how to navigate every stage, from the first flickering appearance of a new dream to the planning and implementation of your own ideal life. Based on Dr. Beck's work as a Harvard-trained sociologist, research associate at Harvard Business School, instructor at Thunderbird Business School, and especially on her experiences with her clients over the last six years, Finding Your Own North Star offers thoroughly tested case studies, questionnaires, and exercises to help you articulate your core desires and act on them to build a more satisfying life. “Explorers depend on the North Star when there are no other landmarks in sight. The same relationship exists between you and your right life, the ultimate realization of your potential for happiness. I believe that a knowledge of that perfect life sits inside you just as the North Star sits in its unaltering spot.” -- Martha Beck

Caring: Six Steps for Effective Pastoral Conversations is designed to help ministers and pastoral care givers solve one of their most significant problems. They are called upon to “fix” all manner of human problems, and this expectation often leaves them feeling overwhelmed, highly stressed, or woefully unprepared. Help is available! Author Denise Massey will teach readers how to coach people to access their own spiritual and personal resources, invoking both God’s help and the person’s own deep inner wisdom. The six steps of the CARING process can transform ministry conversations from floundering and uncertain to powerful and effective. These steps of facilitating powerful problem-solving conversation are ones that the minister and the person receiving care taake together. The acronym CARING will help the minister remember both the steps and the ultimate purpose of the conversation. C Connect with God, self, and others. A Attend to the journey and assess the need. R Reach clarity about the realistic focus for this conversation. I Inspire the development of a loving action plan. N Navigate around obstacles to the plan. G Generate commitment to a specific, loving action plan.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first person to go into a situation is often carrying a shotgun. This is because the suspects have a very intense fight-or-flight reaction when they first see law enforcement officials. They are usually doing drugs as well as selling them, and this makes them about as violent and unpredictable as humans get. #2 You should be able to identify and dissolve most of the mind clouds that keep you from seeing your own North Star. This takes a lot of practice, but it will bring you inner peace and help you build your outward empire. #3 What we think would bring us happiness often won’t bring us the satisfaction we seek. What we’re really after when we yearn for something is a feeling state. In the spaces below, write a word or two that best describes the feeling state you’d get from having each of the things you want. #4 The four feeling states we all desire are peace, security, belonging, and comfort. We think we’ll get these feelings by getting anything from an Olympic gold medal to our parents’ approval. But external circumstances do not create feeling states. Feeling states create external circumstances.
