Letting go of the past and living fully in the present allows you to experience all the moments of your life and reorients the future.

From California beaches to India, she tells stories of transformation: pain, joy, setbacks, and growth. A business leader with a thirty-year commitment to meditation and self-development, Young uses her life as a backdrop to wisdom gained from business, philosophy, spirituality, and neuroscience, making them accessible. Her guidelines make your journey to self-leadership clearer and more impactful. As you are encouraged to make peace with your past, she asks important questions to reveal what keeps you from a more fulfilled life: Have you accomplished everything you set out to do? Do you have an incessant inner critic keeping you from really going for it? What works in your life and what does not? Young uses the Enneagram, a map of personality, to explore how wisdom of head, heart, and body helps you be fully present. Learning to deeply trust yourself comes from connecting to your true nature. It is a journey within, coming home to your inner self. She asks powerful questions: Coming home to what? What else is there beyond my perception? Where did I come from and why am I here? Young says, "It is in the stillness of mind and body that Essence is revealed". The language of poetry and dreams open a portal into your true self. There is an inner guide that is always present to lead you to right action. Through her revelations, you are invited to connect with Essence residing in your heart. This book shows how to find your voice, stand in your truth, and center within to create an authentic presence and life of deep connection. This results in quality relationships, greater purpose, meaning, contribution and impact. This book is for you if you are a seeker, conscious leader, or someone who desires a more fulfilled life.
