Creating True Prosperity (Abridged, Audio cassette, Abridged edition)

-- The powerful and effective techniques first offered in Creating True Prosperity are now available in this easy-to-use workbook to help readers design their own blueprint for abundance

In Creating True Prosperity, personal-growth pioneer Shakti Gawain presented a new definition of prosperity, one that places importance on the fulfillment of the heart and soul rather than on monetary gain. In The Creating True Prosperity Workbook, she gives readers a practical companion to help them integrate this new concept into their lives.

Shakti believes that most people, regardless of their wealth, experience a lack of prosperity -- what she defines as having enough of what we truly need. With this in mind, she examines the pitfalls of monetary wealth and how it does not necessarily lead to happiness and prosperity. Her approach is fresh and original; she dismantles the cause-and-effect relationship that most people construct around money and happiness, and she challenges us to truly pay attention to our longings, follow them to their roots, and separate them from false desires or addictions.

In her own unique and stimulating way, Shakti explores and contrasts three traditional philosophies about wealth and prosperity: materialism, the transcendent spiritual viewpoint, and the popular New Age approach. She borrows from and acknowledges all three, but comes to a new definition in which money is a mirror -- a reflection of energy and consciousness in every individual's life.

Going beyond the conventional preoccupation with money, Shakti puts together a convenient and organized system to help the reader examine his or her relationship with money. She explains how money can be a teacher-- showing where one needs to develop more balance in one's life. Based on Shakti's popular book, this large-format workbook is simple, fun, and effective, involving the reader step-by-step in many exercises, meditations, affirmations, and other techniques that actually produce powerful changes.
