Many of us rely on our car’s or phone’s GPS but ignore the life-directional system we were each born with. This innate compass — what Zen Cryar DeBrücke calls our internal guidance system (IGS) — wants us to be happy, successful, and stress-free. How do we tune in to this tool? DeBrücke learned from trial and error and through the dramatic crucible of being the CEO of an internet firm during the dot-com bust. Her IGS helped her ride these daunting waves — and in the process she learned to leave painful memories behind, abandon destructive relationship patterns, and set boundaries. Learning to recognize and speak her truth led to the “beautiful sensation of being comfortable in [her] own skin.” Here DeBrücke shares her innovative program with readers so they too can have the life-changing experiences that result when we follow the guidance within.

A groundbreaking investigation of how inequality infects our minds and gets under our skin Why are people more relaxed and at ease with each other in some countries than others? Why do we worry so much about what others think of us and often feel social life is a stressful performance? Why is mental illness three times as common in the USA as in Germany? Why is the American dream more of a reality in Denmark than the USA? What makes child well-being so much worse in some countries than others? As The Inner Level demonstrates, the answer to all these is inequality. In The Spirit Level Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett put inequality at the center of public debate by showing conclusively that less equal societies fare worse than more equal ones across everything from education to life expectancy. The Inner Level now explains how inequality affects us individually, altering how we think, feel and behave. It sets out the overwhelming evidence that material inequities have powerful psychological effects: when the gap between rich and poor increases, so does the tendency to define and value ourselves and others in terms of superiority and inferiority. A deep well of data and analysis is drawn upon to empirically show, for example, that low social status leads to elevated levels of stress hormones, and how rates of anxiety, depression and addictions are intimately related to the inequality which makes that status paramount. Wilkinson and Pickett describe how these responses to hierarchies evolved, and why the impacts of inequality on us are so severe. In doing so, they challenge the conception that humans are inescapably competitive and self-interested. They undermine, too, the idea that inequality is the product of "natural" differences in individual ability. This book draws together many of the most urgent problems facing societies today, but it is not just an index of our ills. It demonstrates that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity generate much higher levels of well-being, and lays out the path towards them.

I began writing this book after my husband of 51 years passed away, hoping to find my purpose in this new chapter of my life. Without my best friend by my side, I sought guidance and clarity.

Digging deep into my subconscious to uncover my purpose required time, effort, and patience. I discovered that within each of us lies an untapped well of strength. Whether its in health, career, relationships, or emotions, our true power is ready to be harnessed. By understanding the limits imposed upon us, we can break free and create the world we dream of. This book explores the souls journey and the quest for purpose and inner strength, emphasizing patience and gradual progress. The essence of the souls journey lies in accumulating and comprehending experiences. Each action, spoken word, and emotion contributes to this path of learning, growth, and evolution. Its a path of learning, experiencing, and evolving. A soul journey is a route of spiritual and personal development that enables us to discover our passions, connect with our inner selves, and align with our greater purpose. Its a journey to realizing our individual potential and reaching our destiny. Throughout our journey, we seek to find purpose and meaning beyond the material world. At that point, the concept of a soul journey becomes a reality.
