Description
Have you ever heard a line in a song that took your breath away? Or been reduced to tears by a deeply significant phrase in a movie? Have you ever heard a โsimple truthโ that resonates perfectly with you?
In 'The Power of the Second Question', psychologist Chris Skellett reveals how you can learn to harness the power of personal reflection to capture your โsimple truthsโ about the world. You will be encouraged to pause and consider what personal wisdom you have learned over the years, by making use of self-reflection and insight and considering the bigger picture. In so doing, you will find you lift yourself out of the routines of everyday thinking, enabling you to deeply and consciously consider what life is really all about for you.
Each concise chapter suggests ideas, gives examples and reviews the importance of personal insight. You are then invited to reflect upon your own wisdom in key areas of your life and to consolidate what you have learned from life so far. At the end of the process, you will have developed a much broader appreciation of who you are and what you have learned along lifeโs journey, enabling you to reset your lifeโs compass and pursue a life of renewed purpose and meaning.
