Your Vivid Life

This book is an invitation to live a radically authentic life, drawing on the author's own journey and understandings gained on the way. The first part is about undoing conditioning, exploring solitude, awareness, the sense of self-worth and the need to let go of what does not serve you. Then comes a part on resistance, looking at relationships, evolution, nourishment and play. The third part outlines radical authenticity in terms of making a difference, service, the practice of gratitude, the need for movement and the development of unconditional love and compassion. The perspective struck me as existential in terms of taking responsibility for one's own life and there is much sound advice along the way. However, I felt there was another step to take terms of surrender so that life is lived through you as well as you living your life - there is more to it than the manifestation of desires and taking action from an individual vantage point.
