Synopsis
Can ancient wisdom help us overcome real personal crisis and find our purpose today?
In the past twelve months, have you found it hard to get through the day--or even get out of bed--because you felt overwhelmed
Depression
Regret
Loneliness
Anger
Burn-Out
Lack of purpose
Do you feel like none of your go-to methods of solving your problems are helping at all?
Author John Carrier struggled with all of this, until he found out when old habits stop working, when old assumptions no longer ring true, it’s time to look past the old... to the ancient. And that’s when everything changed.
John discovered Seven Gifts--ancient wisdom and current practices of the Jewish people that promote a life of meaning, joy, personal growth, and deeper human connection--available to everyone, everywhere, regardless of where you're coming from. The Seven Gifts have sustained the most resilient, adaptable, and long-enduring people on earth for thousands of years, but they were never meant to be kept a secret, and now John shares them with you.
Through illumination of an ancient tradition, clear action steps that are practical for the 21st Century, and personal stories that are both humorous and heartbreaking, you will discover how to overcome your crisis, find your purpose, and live a more resilient and meaningful life.

“John Carrier has produced a wise, honest, compassionate, and genuinely useful book which unlocks the wisdom of one tradition for people who follow any tradition, many traditions or no tradition at all. He offers us both an ancient map, and a contemporary compass, not to mention warm companionship and wise encouragement, for discovering and living into our own promised lives. His approach is hopeful, but never naive. He knows that it takes a bit of effort to fulfill the promise of our lives, and offers the tools to do that work with meaning, purpose, and genuine joy.”
Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, President of The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, Author of You Don’t Have to Be Wrong for Me to Be Finding Faith Without Fanaticism

About the Author
John Carrier is an ordained rabbi living, leading, teaching, and thriving in Burbank, California, but this is a long way from where he started. John was born in East Texas to a family of Christian pastors going back three generations. Finding it harder and harder to connect with his own family's beliefs and traditions, he converted to Judaism as an adult. Some years later, John left a successful career in management consulting to attend the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles. Today John teaches Jewish wisdom and traditions to students age 3 to 95, in person and through his Rabbi John Carrier YouTube channel. As a second-career leader in his second faith, John understands how difficult change can be - and how rewarding - and is experienced in translating the Gifts of Judaism for people of many spiritual and cultural backgrounds.
