Publisher's Synopsis
What do you get if someone has the courage to tell the truth - the whole truth and nothing
but the truth - about her life?
This book.
Madeleine MacRae dares to share what it's like to be smart, talented and successful -
while at the same time dealing with roller-coaster relationships, unhealed hurts and
business setbacks.
She pulls back the curtain on how she chose to dig deep into why she did what she did -
and how she chose to reverse lifelong beliefs/behaviors and do things differently.
Each chapter is filled with truth bombs - what she calls lightning rod moments - where the
lights went on, the band played, and she had an epiphany that led to new clarity.
Through raw, real story-telling that puts you in the scene, you'll experience those
enlightening "ahas" right along with her.
The river that runs through this book is the existential inner struggle with how to shine -
and not shine - at the same time.
- How can we be our full self without intimidating or alienating others?
- How can we summon the courage to resolve and release the demons that shaped and
- shamed us?
- How can we move forward with a vision for a more congruent, aligned life?
- How can we turn struggle into acceptance and appreciation - right here, right now?
Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living."
If you're ready to examine your life, these stories are a shortcut to asking the questions
that reveal what's working, what's not, and what you can do to put the light back in your
eyes - for good. Read it and reap.
