This could have been the fate of Lily Dulan after her beloved newborn daughter Kara unexpectedly died. Her moving account of how her daughters memory eventually led her to a lifes vocation of helping others is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit."- Sharon Salzberg author of Real Happiness and Real Love Description for Sales People Most humans have a fundamental belief that something is wrong with them; its practically hardwired into our DNA. This innate conviction, along with current socio-economic forces and personal circumstance leave people empty and sad. According to a recent Harris Poll, only 33% of Americans consider themselves happy. Conversely, people are generally optimistic and desire a tangible way out of their distress. And, not only do they desire it, they take an active role in pursuing new methods toward that end. This is evidenced by a $9.9 billion self-help industry from which book sales make-up 9 percent. The U.S. Market for Self-Improvement Products & Services published in August of 2017 forecasts the industry will realize 5.6% average yearly gains through 2022 at which point the market should reach $13.2 billion. People want REAL skills they can actually use and apply. The Name Work offers a concrete way to move through grief, trauma, and suffering. By working with the letters of a name - their own or a loved ones - breathing and meditative exercises, daily affirmations, and more, The Name Work offers readers to embrace and to move through that which holds them back. Through this method, the reader is gently urged to connect with their true self, realize their ultimate potential, and know that peace that is possible even in the midst of darkness.
