PRAISE FOR
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE
(William Morrow, 1998)
From Booklist, March 1, 1998
Adrienne has made her reputation penning workbooks based upon James Redfield's popular Celestine Prophecy. In an easy, approachable tone, she now shares her own
philosophy and life story. Gentle goodwill and ebullient optimism practically pour from
every page, and her message is appealing. Who can resist her conviction that we all can
find happiness and love, if not necessarily wealth and power (but maybe those, too), by
just living the life we were intended to live? Adrienne is an energetic and authoritative
storyteller who crafts wise parables from the life stories of those who, like her, have
made a better life for themselves by positive thinking, paying close attention to
intuition, and being attuned to a higher calling. She doesn't entirely avoid the shadow
side of her subject, for she reminds us that a life's purpose is likely to include
challenge and even suffering, but the sheer enthusiasm of her beliefs makes even the
downside seem upbeat. Expect a groundswell of popular demand.
