Spiritual teacher and leadership mentor Mark Brouwer understands how life can can keep us from going the distance, or at least rob us of our joy along the way.
Picking up where Rick Warren’s “Purpose Driven Life” book left off, Brouwer examines the things that keep us from living out that purpose. Specifically it deals with seven common roadblocks that trip us up, and keep us from doing work that matters. In this book, you will learn:
–How to deal with the sense that there’s never enough time to do what matters most
–How to discern divine guidance on your path of service
–How to manage anxiety and overwhelm
–How to handle people who suck your enthusiasm
–How to develop the grit to keep going… or decide to change course
