YOUR SOUL'S COMPASS
by Joan Borysenko (9781401907778)

Fulfilment and joy arise naturally from creative and compassionate action; from the understanding that all life is interconnected and guided by a higher intelligence. This book
focuses on the three classic aspects of living a spiritually guided life:
1. Alignment: maintaining a direct and personal connection to the source of our being;
2. Discernment: distinguishing the movement of Spirit in our lives from our own wants, fears and social conditioning;
3. Action: making our best, most inspired contribution to the evolution of life.

This distinguished pioneer in integrative medicine is a world-renowned expert in the mind/body connection. Her work has been foundational in an international health-care revolution that recognizes the role of meaning, and the spiritual dimensions of life, as an integral part of health and healing. Eloquent and inspiring in settings that range from hospitals to hospices, from theaters to conference venues, and from boardrooms to houses of worship, she is a credible bridge between faith and reason. Her brilliance, humor, and authenticity, in combination with the latest research, make her a compelling and inspiring speaker and writer.

After graduating magna cum laude from Bryn Mawr College in 1967, Dr. Borysenko earned her doctorate in Medical Sciences from the Harvard Medical School, where she completed post-doctoral training in cancer cell biology. Her first faculty position was at the Tufts University College of Medicine in Boston. But after the death of her father from cancer, she became more interested in the person with the illness than in the disease itself, and returned to Harvard Medical School to complete a second postdoctoral fellowship, this time in the new field of behavioral medicine. Under the tutelage of Herbert Benson, M.D., who first identified the relaxation response and brought meditation into medicine, she was awarded a Medical Foundation Fellowship and completed her third post-doctoral fellowship in psychoneuroimmunology.
