Inner Voice, Unlock Your Purpose and Passion, written by Russ Whitney, published by Hay House, Sept 2013.
How does one recover from hitting rock bottom? For author Russ Whitney, it was a five year journey to discover his inner voice, which led him to his purpose and passion. In this book, he shares his story while guiding us through our own journey, helping us stay on course, listening to our inner voice along the way.
Whitney outlines four distinct phases of life:
- the Athlete, when we are more concerned with our physical bodies and appearances
- the Warrior, when we want to conquer the world
- the Statesperson, when our outlook shifts from ourselves to how we can make a difference in the world
- the Spirit, when we realize that we are actually spiritual beings have an earthly experience
The book includes discovery charts and character asset checklists to use as tools on the journey. There are also personal stories of everyday living, shared by others who followed the guidance of their inner voice. These short stories bring life the application of the words on the page.
My favorite parts of the book were the Inner Voice Whispers. These little snippets of positivity and wisdom are on every few pages and are great reflection prompts. For example:
You were born with a specific genius and a gift. This is so that you can do your part to make the world a better place. All of us have a gift that we are uniquely suited for. (pg 68)
If you are looking for personal growth, inspiration, and your inner voice, read this Inner Voice. You won’t regret picking it up and you won’t be able to put it down.
