In these tapes, Cheryl Richardson gives hands-on exercises to help you reconnect with yourself, to help you find out what things get you excited.

These questions will start you on the 'passion path of development'.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Believing that everyone has a unique contribution to make to the world, Richardson presents a plan of action to help people discover and implement a way of living that reflects their personal passion(s) that involves locating and participating in a safe support group and identifying blocks. Through skillfully edited lectures, the author includes examples for each step based on audience participation. Her practical style and sense of humor help to defuse much of the anxiety and panic that many people seem to feel when addressing this topic. For instance, she advises that most people need to clear out the clutter and successfully take care of life's basics (e.g., pay the bills) as a first step toward being free to follow one's passion. The sound quality of this program is excellent. For further information on how the process works, check out Richardson's Take Time for Your Life and her web site. A solid addition to self-help collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars inspirational, August 27, 2004

By 

Joellen Corrocher (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finding Your Passion (Audio CD)

This is a fine piece of work that teaches one how to find and follow their heart and feelings and thus lead a meaningful and passionate life. This is truely practical advice from a brilliant women. Much of it seems commonsense, to me, which I like, no tricks, no magic potions, just what the author (a life coach) has has used to help her clients lead a more enjoyable, meaningful life. So many people struggle with fidning meaning in their lives. This author gives us concrete doable steps on how to make it happen. Yes, it takes work, as Ms. Richardson states, you must be willing to make yourself and your life a priority and be willing to pay attention to your feelings (something us American's have become very bad at!). The speaker also gives tools for working through emotions that may be keeping the listener from pursuing their passion.

I highly recomend this to anyone seeking to add a little joy to their lives or anyone seeking a dramatic change, such as a new career that is more meaningful and joyful. (for the record, the sound quality on my copy was fabulous)
