Synopsis

A life-changing and empowering guide to discovering your personal and professional passions, goals, and dreams so you can create a life full of joy and purpose.

Welcome to the Life Audit, an exercise in self-reflection that helps you clear the cobwebs of noisy, external distractions and revisit or uncover the real themes and core values that drive and inspire you. Think of it as a thoughtful reset for your goals, priorities, and future.

For anyone looking to find fulfillment in every aspect of life―love, friendship, career, finances, and beyond―this encouraging handbook offers the tools to prioritize your goals and turn personal insights into action to create a beautiful, meaningful future. In this step-by-step guide, made irresistibly and uniquely engaging by insightful and entertaining illustrations throughout, you’ll learn how to use design thinking and creative exercises to:

• Identify the core values and key themes hidden within your goals.
• Overcome the internal judgments and outside expectations that stifle your growth.
• Find the people, skills, and resources you need to nourish your dreams.
• Design a practical, personal action plan you can follow with confidence and clarity.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, contemplating a career change, facing a personal crossroads, or searching for satisfaction, The Life Audit is a safe space for dreaming big, a path to kickstart dreams previously on hold, and a rousing call to design a life that honors your values and desires every day.
