February’s Book To Live By

Are you looking for ways to show yourself some love for Valentine’s Day? I hope so!

I believe one of the kindest, most loving things you can do is to explore who you are and why you are here. That is the path to a life of passion.

Because I feel so strongly we each need to know our purpose, it is my honor to announce as our February Book To Live By:

The Two Most Important Days: How to Find Your Purpose – and Live a Happier, Healthier Life by Dr. Sanjiv Chopra and Gina Vild

The co-authors, colleagues at Harvard Medical School, are my guests for the February membership interview. You may be familiar with their names: Gina is one of our Women on Fire sisters, and Sanjiv is the brother of Dr. Deepak Chopra, the well-known advocate of alternative medicine.

Their book takes its title from a much-loved aphorism attributed to Mark Twain: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

The quote illuminates a basic key for fulfillment in life: finding purpose. This stirring and practical book will guide you through that timeless, universal search.

And there is pure gold at the end of that rainbow. Using current scientific and psychological studies, as well as wisdom of the ages, Gina and Sanjiv show that finding meaning in life and happiness are one and the same.

With vivid storytelling and inspiring poetry, the authors share their own life purposes and the treasures those discoveries brought.

I encourage you to follow the book’s simple, uplifting exercises and watch how your life changes in loving, positive ways.

The Two Most Important Days is available from Amazon and bookstores everywhere.

I wish you love and a very happy Valentine’s Day!
