- The secret to happiness....
Michael Ray has nailed it! The highest goal as he describes it is what some might call their unique calling or the deep yearning that lies at the very core of their being. Like his Path of the Everyday Hero book, this one addresses what many have called true happiness. - John Renesch, author, Getting to the Better Future

- A Life Changing Book--Truly Transformational
I recently read on Google that a thousand books are published every day in the United States. However, in my opinion, there are only a very few that are personally transformational or life changing. My short list of books that changed my thinking or made me sit up and take notice includes:

"The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck
"The Art of Selfishness" by David Seabury
"Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl
"Ideas Have Consequences" by Richard M. Weaver
"Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom
"Witness" by Whittaker Chambers
"Guide for the Perplexed" by E.F. Schumacher
"The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman
"Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius
"The Lessons of History" by Will Durant
"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill
"The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason
+ any books by Mortimer Adler and Eric ... Read More

- Clear look at why you should align your life
If you experience a lack of connection between what you love doing - what you are genetically and physically programmed to do - and your work, the misalignment can make you miserable. Author Michael Ray contends that life doesn't have to be that way. He guides you through some soul-searching steps to put you in touch with that one thing that really brings you joy. He calls this your "highest goal" - the quest that drives you to fulfill your purpose. He explains that you can think creatively, discover your highest goal, and steadily follow a path that leads to satisfaction, joy and meaning. We recommend this book to readers who are interested in self-help literature; Ray does a good job of explaining how to define your highest goal and get started on the path to achieving it.

- Live with

Michael Ray, a professor at Stanford University, has some wonderful ideas for living fully in the present. In his book The Highest Goal, he suggests a concept for initiating meaningful change in our lives called "live withs."

A live what? A live WITH is a conscious way of seeing and perceiving the world. A live with allows us to purposefully choose our perceptions easing change and bringing awareness to our filters that we see through.

One of the live withs suggested is to "Have no expectations"
I discovered I have expectations for everything.In fact ,it is my expectations that cause so much dissapointment and misunderstanding in my life. That discovery along with the perseverance to really "live with" no expectation has allowed moments of aliveness and a fresh feeling about life that I had no idea I was missing!

This is a life changing ... Read More
