A brilliantly written, indispensable guide that touches and expands the very best of our hearts, minds, and spirits. With fresh insights and practical,powerful exercises, Fortgang shows how to restore and revitalize the precious balance between work and home, life and career, and fulfill our highest destiny.

Being happy doesn't have to be hard, says prominent personal coach Laura Berman Fortgang. We each possess an internal compass that expresses our individual wisdom and points to the things that would most fulfill us.Tapping into this innate sense leads us to our "best life," the life that awaits all of us, in which success comes more easily because we've learned to honor our true desires and to work with our distinct talents.

In Living Your Best Life, Fortgang offers ten tried-and-true strategies to help you gain access to your own inner knowledge. She explains how to:

Get over yourself" in order to bring forth your deepest wishes in such a way that you can't help acting on them.

Determine what needs to stay or go in your relationships, work, finances, and physical environment in order to nurture you, not deplete you.

Create circumstances in your lift- by which great luck can find you.

By focusing on what you really want instead of frenetically trying to have it all,you will learn to ask questions that move you forward, to discover your own unique "lucrative purpose," and to design a "magnet" life plan that draws to you the more rewarding existence you deserve.
