Alan Cohen -- Coming Alive

Posted to FaceBook Nov. 22nd
I am re-reading an Alan Cohen book titled, "Relax Into Wealth:  How To Get More By Doing Less." He is also the author of "Why Your Life Sucks and What You Can Do About It," and "The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore."

Alan has a light, insightful, humorous way of sharing and discussing the same principles as LOP, which makes his work a joy to read and I walk away feeling inspired and lighter.  In "Relax into Wealth" (which is not just about finances, but health, relationships, joy, creativity, appreciation, success), he has questions at the end of each of the short chapters that gets me thinking about and applying the information easily and immediately.

In this book Alan shares a quote he attributes to Harold Whitman, (AKA Dr. Howard Thurman Whitman, a mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
