"This book is a wonderful invitation. Take it" (Dave Evans, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Designing Your Life). We all have moments when we doubt the path we're on. The Life Brief is an essential tool for aligning your life with your dreams--personally, professionally, culturally, and spiritually. Based on the business world's most-used organizational tool, The Life Brief has three Get Messy , Get Clear , and Get Active . The first phase is a set of open-ended writing prompts that cut through limiting beliefs and false assumptions about what's possible. Get Clear offers prompts for finding clarity around what you truly, deeply want. Finally, Get Active catapults you into the steps to making those desires a reality. Tried and tested by Bonnie herself as well as thousands of attendees of workshops and lectures, The Life Brief method is the most powerful tool for solving life's biggest messes and creating a life of meaning." --
