About this title

Review

Quantum change is an exhilarating concept--the words imply major upheaval, as well as the potential for great new achievements. Six Questions That Can Change Your Life doesn't focus on the surface of success or relationships, but rather on a deeper level of emotional awareness that opens the way for a true vision of life happiness.

The questions themselves are deceptively simple. "Who am I," "Where do I belong," and "Who loves me" are possible to answer in just a few sentences, but also demand a closer look. Author Joseph Nowinski uses these questions to urge us forward, looking at what our deepest wishes are and how to manifest them, rather than as an analysis of past behavior. Combining gentle encouragement with a sterner voice, he insists we get past the demands of society's rules and "shoulds" in order to find lasting satisfaction and reconciliation between our day-to-day lives and our larger dreams.

Simple exercises are included to help identify your temperament, talents, and desires, and Nowinski's continual use of case studies provides plenty of captivating personal stories. Most importantly, his positive focus repeatedly returns to the point that "what matters most is not the questions you've been asking yourself until now--it's your willingness to try asking yourself some new ones." --Jill Lightner

From the Back Cover

You drove that new car off the lot, and for a while your heart soared every time you looked at it. Or maybe you finally scored that killer promotion you've been focused on. Your dream house is redecorated and your kids are doing well in school. You've accomplished so much-- so why are you standing here wondering...

Is this all there is?

Many of us get to a point in our lives where we've played by the rules and done everything we were supposed to do, but still don't feel happy or satisfied--so what now? How do we claim for ourselves lives of invigorating passion and purpose when we feel trapped or dragged down by the vestiges of the lives we're already committed to?

The answers are waiting for you inside this book. Drawing from his decades of experience helping people who want more out of life, Dr. Joseph Nowinski has designed a simple, six-step process that helps you uncover your own personal vision of the life you were meant to live. Instead of plodding along a slow course of schedules and goals, you'll learn how to implement changes quickly, easily, and permanently-- a transformative experience he calls quantum change. You'll see how simple it can be to live your dreams--and you won't have to run away, quit your job, or get a divorce to do it.

It's time to stop playing by the rules. 6 Questions That Can Change Your Life breaks you out of your rut and shows you the doorway to dramatic, immediate, permanent change. Your new life can begin today.

"Dr. Nowinski has created a wonderfully insightful and eye-opening guide to help you discover your true self, make lasting changes, and create a solid vision for your future. 6 Questions That Can Change Your Life is a remarkable book that is as useful as it is original."

--Barry Neil Kaufman, founder/director of The Option Institute and author of Happiness Is a Choice

"A timely, compassionate, and compelling book. Dr. Nowinski shows us how to rethink who we are, discover what's truly important to us, and empower ourselves to grow into the people we're meant to be. The real-life stories of men and women who have found fulfillment and happiness offer us both hope and inspiration."
