Description
Today’s popular culture thrives on telling us what we should do and who we should be. We need to have the prestigious job, the perfect relationship, the jam-packed social life, and we need to show it all off on social media. But can achieving those things provide the fulfillment that we all long for? Is there something bigger and better out there waiting for us?
Tim Muldoon has counseled countless young adults on this very issue. In Living Against the Grain, Muldoon offers a field-tested strategy for anyone facing a time of transition to help them discern their deepest desires and discover their true purpose in and for this world. Each chapter focuses on a crucial aspect of decision-making, such as traveling the unpaved road, discovering your calling, finding inner freedom, and loving authentically. Throughout the chapters, Muldoon poses reflective questions that make the material both personal and practical.
By engaging in the unique discernment process found in this book, you’ll be wholly equipped to find the path you were meant to follow and become the person you were created to be.

The first thing I'll say is that I'm reading this for the second time, after finishing it two weeks ago. A list of Netgalley books up to here and I''m reading Living Against the Grain again (I should find a book on time management next!).
I feel like I have done a lot of reading about discernment in the Ignatian tradition, but the way it is applied and presented here, is unique and and eye-opening, but also intuitive. I found that this book helped me in a very close to home manner- I've been struggling a bit lately and was worried that I was falling into a bout of depression. But Tim Muldoon's description of 'desolation' (where it is primarily your relationship with God, and the spiritual side of your life that is causing you heartache rather than the rest of your life) helped me realise that this is where I'm actually having difficulties. One of the reasons why I'm reading this again is because I raced through it the first time because I was enjoying it so much. Now I'm moving more slowly, and savouring all the rich advice that it contains. Highly recommended.
