The Wholehearted Life: Big Changes and Greater Happiness Week by Week

Being filled with discontent and feelings of emptiness doesn’t have to be an accepted way of living. One can learn to be content and fulfilled by living a wholehearted life. But what does that mean? That isn’t something that can be defined in a few simple words, but it is a life that is filled with contentment and purpose and a completeness that comes with being connected to God, others, and self. This kind of life is not something one simply falls into. It is a way of life one must commit time and effort to create, and it’s important to have a guide on such a journey. Susyn Reeve has created such a guide that can help a person complete this journey in one year. After a rich introduction, Reeve provides an excellent guide on how to use the book either as an individual or as the focus for a group. Fifty-two short chapters follow, one for each week of the year. Each short chapter contains seven lessons, one for each day. The writing is lively, full of anecdotal illustrations, permeating the book with a sense of calm and centeredness. This book is a real gift.
