- Summary:
- You may have a beautiful home, a family you adore, and work that you enjoy. But why do you secretly sense that you need something more to be truly happy? Because it's true. In this book, Sarah Ban Breathnach encourages you to become an archaeologist of your Self---to plumb your past with its unfulfilled longings, forgotten pleasures, and abandoned dreams, to 'excavate' the authentic woman buried inside. Uncovering your authentic self will be challenging---but exhilarating. Assisting your personal 'dig' will be hints and prompts from the lives of both celebrated and unknown women. These, in tandem with Sarah's own insights, will help you unravel your own mystery and recover the joy that has been missing from your life. Along the way, you will experience small but exquisite epiphanies that will help you come to terms with your past choices and reveal exciting new opportunities that lead to your destiny.
