New World Library Unshelved

A key element of Dan Millman’s The Life You Were Born to Live — Revised 25th Anniversary Edition, as in the earlier edition, is a major section on the universal spiritual laws that can guide us to live wisely and well. Presented in Part Four of the book, the laws are especially useful in helping us overcome the hurdles on each of the forty-five individual life paths described in the book. 

We hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt, in which Dan shares some background on these laws of Spirit. 

Author Corinne Zupko, a licensed counselor and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher, undertook her study of psychology out of necessity when debilitating anxiety threatened to derail her life. Seeking ways to do more than temporarily alleviate her symptoms, Corinne began to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM), mindfulness meditation, and the latest therapeutic approaches for treating anxiety.

New World Library cofounder Shakti Gawain’s clear writing style and vivid examples make her international bestseller Creative Visualization easy to apply to your personal needs and wants. Her groundbreaking work has found enthusiastic followers in every country and language in which it has been published, and Shakti’s simple yet powerful techniques are used successfully in many diverse fields, including health, education, business, sports, and the creative arts. Whether you read it for general inspiration and empowerment or to achieve specific goals, Creative Visualization remains a profoundly powerful resource from a uniquely warm and wise teacher. We hope you’ll enjoy this short excerpt from the 40th Anniversary Edition of the book.

Listen to an uplifting conversation, recorded live in June 2018 at Copperfield’s Books in Novato, California, with beloved New World Library authors Marc Allen, SARK (Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy), and Scott Stabile, who offer inspiring perspectives and practical advice for dealing with doubts and fears so we can use our lives to make a positive difference in the world. Hosted by New World Now podcast host Kim Corbin, we hope this discussion lifts your hopes and helps you see how you can make a difference in your own life.

I love Donald Trump, but I don’t like him.

I think he’s racist, greedy, narcissistic, devoid of empathy and compassion, and the unapologetic perpetrator of sexual assault on numerous women. I find him to be a profoundly dangerous and despicable human being. But I do love him.

I love him when I remember his humanity, when I remember he was once an innocent, curious, loving child like all of us. I love him when I imagine how miserable he must be to act with such insecurity and hatred, and when I consider how unloved he must feel to show such lack of love for others. I love him when I remind myself that I am dedicated to love, and that real love has no conditions, not even with Donald Trump. Not with anyone.
