The calling. 
Julia helps us see how to get out from the emotional sludge and embrace our calling.  As a life-coach I appreciate her clarity in setting down a path for others to travel on  to find their true soul’s work.  I have no doubt that using the tools she gives us will help us come to better clarity as to our calling.  Grab a notebook it’ll be worth the journey.

This is quite an unexpectedly wonderful book, written by a neuroscientist, with a delightful little juxtaposition of being framed within science, and yet calling on intuition. The two emerge as not being in opposition at all - a steadily layered series of experiments develops access to the superconsciousness, and in turn, a person’s calling.

In laying out a process that takes 12 weeks, three stages each taking 4 weeks, the book builds to a point where the calling is not just identified, but also energised and engaged. This is powerful, and whilst I didn’t have the time to actually follow the process and test its efficacy, I want to and will. 

The book successfully navigates the edges of implausible “woo”, and retains a sense of plausibility throughout. This feels right. At least to me. Other may, of course, find it too much or not enough. But I genuinely feel that this book really unlocks inner truths in how the mind works, how it connects with the universe at large to make things happen, and so how we can connect into what really matters. It’s an important book that is worth reading.
