Women often seek external barometers to define success-their salary, their looks, their relationships, their possessions. This book offers them a truer barometer: the quality of their inner experience. In a time of widespread disillusionment with material rewards, this is a guide for women seeking both inner and outer riches. This timely book shows how 30 remarkable women broke through to a deeper experience of success in their personal and professional lives by tapping into their authentic power. Through moving personal stories from women of many professions and walks of life, the book explores 30 essential principles not often associated with success such as Compassion, Self-Love, Intuition, Forgiveness, Freedom, Intention, Accountability and Wholeness. Some women who share their stories: Dynasty actress Catherine Oxenberg seemed like she had it all-looks, fame and money. But her fairy-tale life had a very dark side, starting with child abuse that eventually led to her struggle with bulimia. She details how the power of receptivity led to her healing. Plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Horner was enraged when an insurance company told her they wouldn't cover reconstructive surgery on her mastectomy patient because the breast was an "organ with no function." She vowed to pass laws that would make insurance companies pay for breast reconstruction for every woman facing this surgery. Her power of intention got it done.
