Selected for The Best Spiritual Books of 2019 List
An inspiring and evocative book reminding you that the discovery of how you can live a life you love is found hidden in the stories you tell about your life.
An inspirational book to help shine a light on how each of us carries a possibility that everyone needs. Instead of hugs, Dawna Markova's midwife grandmother used to kiss the unique marks at the very end of her fingertips, calling them “promise prints.” She said that the moment each of us are born life makes a promise to the world that only we can fulfill. Living A Loved Life is a particularly important book in these dark and fragmented times when so many of us have become convinced that they really can't and don't make a difference.
Your go-to motivational book. Dawna Markova, Ph.D. has been a teacher, psychotherapist, researcher, executive advisor, and organizational fairy godmother. She has given empowerment, creativity, and spirituality presentations around the world to various corporate and non-corporate audiences. Living A loved life is an uplifting collection of stories woven from Dr. Markova’s own experience as well as those of her clients. These stories can guide you and help you find an untapped reservoir of capacity within―a connective force, a steady light in the depth of darkness. Living A Loved Life will leave you committed to never again diminish your mind or limit the capacity of your heart.
If you liked I’ve Been Thinking…by Maria Shriver, On the Brink of Everything by Parker Palmer or Becoming Wise by Krista Tippet, you’ll love reading Living A Loved Life.
