Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Daily doses of wisdom! The Intentional Life provides 365 unique perspectives on living with purpose and intention. A truly inspiring and transformative read!"
-Dr. Miriam Delphin-Rittmon, Former Assistant Secretary of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, USA
"At a time when our country is grappling with ongoing concerns about anxiety and stress, social isolation, and overall well-being of our youngest generation, this book The Intentional Life - rich with the first-hand narratives of those sharing generously of their lived experiences - will help young adults grapple with the issues key to their spiritual, emotional and social wellness. As a higher education profession, waiting until students get to college to explore these questions of pathway and purpose often seems too late - this book will help engage students in a more timely manner."
