Let Your Life Speak

In the 25th Anniversary Edition of the modern classic Let Your Life Speak, bestselling author Parker J. Palmer delivers an insightful meditation on meaning and purpose that's as inspiring and moving as it was when it was first published. It's an elegant and openhearted gift for anyone who hopes to live authentically. You'll learn how to find a path that's right for you by embracing what gives you energy and life and rejecting what diminishes you. You'll listen closely to the voice of your "true self" and mute the demands and expectations of others. You'll also discover how to live more deeply into your own identity and integrity as you find both personal fulfillment and your place in the community. Let Your Life Speak contains the author's honest and vulnerable reflections about his own life, including the fumbles and failures that marked his unconventional and surprising vocational journey. He explains his descent into--and recovery from--depression, as well as his quest for "an undivided life" that would allow him to offer his best gifts to the world. Devoid of simplistic formulas and pat catchphrases, this book demonstrates how to find a meaningful path through life's complexities by mining real-life experience for insight and wisdom. It provides access to your inner teacher and offers inspiration and resolve from the lives of seekers who have walked this path before you. Enjoy the wisdom, compassion, humor, and companionship of a master teacher in a celebrated book that has helped hundreds of thousands of people find their way to meaning and purpose. It will help you navigate an increasingly fraught and complicated world, and show you how closed doors can give you as much guidance as open ones.
