Naomi's Breakthrough Guide: 20 Choices to Transform Your LifeSimon and Schuster, 2003 - 276 pages Naomi Judd, affectionately known as the Star Next Door, is the mother of two talented daughters and an icon of the American heartland, but readers of her bestselling memoir, "Love Can Build a Bridge," know that she's also a survivor. Her admirers always ask: How did a woman who missed her high school graduation to deliver her first child, who endured domestic abuse, lived on welfare, and overcame a life-threatening illness, find the inner strength to persevere? As Naomi puts it, "a dead end is just a good place to turn around." Now in "Naomi's Breakthrough Guide" she shares with readers the hard-won wisdom that helped her turn potential breakdowns into life-altering breakthroughs. Awareness and responsibility are the foundations of Naomi's approach to personal transformation. As she'll tell you, change is the true nature of the universe, but it is how we choose to respond to change that determines whether or not we lead healthy, happy lives. In these pages Naomi outlines the twenty most important life choices that will help us become aware of the control we have over our lives and achieve life's greatest reward: peace of mind. Informed by both personal experience and the latest mind/body research, Naomi's principles will help anyone looking to improve relationships, family life, career, health, or other areas of life. Naomi shows how to focus on your ultimate goal, know forgiveness, trust your intuition, embrace risk, free your body and mind from worry, and resign as the General Manager of the Universe. In her typically down-to-earth, practical style, Naomi reminds us that it's not until we decide to take responsibility for our own lives that we, like pebbles that make ripplesas they hit the water, can affect the lives of others. Blending candid personal stories and practical exercises with anecdotes about well-known friends and family, "Naomi's Breakthrough Guide" will act as an essential companion and mentor for all those seeking to revolutionize their lives. |
