Danna Quinn (Author)

Book Description

Series: Capital Cares | Publication Date: March 19, 2002

A new, more positive and affirming way to define your life by re-defining the key words that have shaped it.

Adopted from successful workshops in a variety of places from bookstores to corporations, ReDefining is a proven system for giving every individual the power to define their life experience and put it to work. The way we have learned to define key words shapes the way we think and act – and not always in a positive way. ReDefining is a system for rethinking the meanings we assign to those words that influence our thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. Armed with these new definitions, ReDefining helps us restructure the way we think so that we can act in new, more positive ways. By redefining the concepts our words represent, we are actually able to consciously restructure our ideas.

This is an interactive guide, complete with worksheets and journal exercises designed to help readers Redefine their own lives!

5.0 out of 5 stars Examine Yourself and Find Yourself, June 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Redefining: Rethink, Repattern, and Recreate Yourself (Capital Cares) (Paperback)

When I picked up this book, I felt smug and superior that I already knew who I was and didn't need to "redefine" anything about myself. Yet as I read it, I found myself uncovering ideas and philosophies I didn't even realize I held! So I purchased the book, and have since gone through each chapter and exercise and find that I have learned a great deal about myself, my beliefs and attitudes. If you want a book that truly can change your life - even if you don't think you want or need to change - than you want to pick up ReDefining! The author, Ms. Quinn, has given us all an incredible gift with her book. Thank you!

I'm not really the type of person that would normally be into this sort of thing, but I met the author of 'Redefining' at a bookstore and thought I might give it a try.

I met with a group once a week for a couple of months and went through the exercises. What an amazing experience! It was a great way to take a look at myself and see how I relate to other people and the world at large. By Redefining in a group setting, I got to write and talk about how I define key words in my life like health, wealth and friendship. I got to hear what other people thought about these and other important aspects of their lives and then expand on the meaning. Eventually, I became so practiced at Redefining that I was able to carry it over into my everyday life and be more conscious of how my worldview affects my reality. More importantly I learned to control that worldview and use it to create a vision to shape the future. I also learned how to better communicate with others by being more aware of how they saw the world and what direction in life they wanted to take.

I would recommend giving this book a try. If possible, go through the excercises with friends or family or both, and your inner growth will expand exponentially. Even better, you can grow together and get to know each other really well in the process. Either way, you can not go wrong with redefining.

This book has helped me immensely in my quest to revamp, rearrange,reorganize and reenergize my life. I'm not there yet, but I have a whole new set of tools to work with and a new perspective to use them with. Many thanks for an exceptionally useful way of approaching the issues!
