{"product_id":"9781416561972","title":"The Mind of the Soul: Responsible Choice","description":"\"This book can dramatically change your life by showing you how to take responsibility for the choices you make and break free from the illusion that you are a victim of your circumstances.\" So begins one of the most significant works you will ever encounter. \u003cbr\u003e People make hundreds of choices every day -- both large and small -- yet most individuals feel they have little control over their own lives. Now Gary Zukav, author of the monumental bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Seat of the Soul,\u003c\/i\u003e joins his spiritual partner, Linda Francis, in a revolutionary look at the power of choice and how to use it wisely. They explain how changing our decision-making can help us avoid self-defeating patterns of thought and action -- and help us take control of our lives by creating authentic, positive power. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Mind of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e describes how each moment in life is a moment of decision: wheth- er to persist in the old, limited patterns of life or to choose instead to experiment with the unbounded, liberating potential ahead of us. Using the same pragmatic terms that made \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e so meaningful, Zukav and Francis allow readers to develop, step by step, the ability to break free of unconscious choices that hold them back and limit their fulfillment in life. \u003cbr\u003e Whether your choices are large ones -- concerning work, marriage, parenting, or divorce -- or smaller day-to-day choices, such as shouting or showing annoyance when you are angry, they carry consequences for which you must assume responsibility. You will discover that in any situation one choice among the many that present themselves to you is the optimal choice -- to create harmony, cooperation, sharing, or reverence for Life. When you make this choice, you gain the freedom to experiment with your life, see what does or does not work for you, learn to change yourself instead of blaming others, open your heart, and develop authentic power. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Mind of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e is a book to be used, not merely read. It is packed with specific, practical exercises, diagrams, and meaningful illustrations that make you a participant in the process of responsible choice. To accompany this book, the authors have created a special \u003ci\u003eSelf-Empowerment Journal\u003c\/i\u003e with additional material to help you focus your thoughts and emotions as you read and to invite you to record your insights after each exercise. The discoveries you make in both the book and the Journal will become a permanent part of your life long after you have turned the last page.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153743102192,"sku":"9781416561972","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781416561972_p0.jpg?v=1763728469","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781416561972","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
