Review Quotes

"It is not hyperbole to say that Choose Your Life Purposes is a masterpiece. Certainly, it is Eric Maisel's magnum opus. I wish this had been around when I was a teenager and a confused, depressed young adult. In his usual empathic, encouraging, insightful way, Maisel puts forth an existential plan for living in a turbulent world. It's amazing how he can approach such 'heavy' subjects in such a readable way. Thank you, Eric!"

-Denise Beck-Clark, LCSW, MFA

--Elodie Desrumaux, artistic development coach

"Choose Your Life Purposes is a thought-provoking and empowering book. With wit and wisdom, Eric Maisel passionately challenges us to confront life's absurdity and embrace our autonomy and personal power in our role as steward of our own existence. He inspires us to live each day intentionally and to consciously choose our own purposes. It's a call to discover or reconnect with our inner existentialist and a reminder that we get to be the pilot of our own journey!"

--Jo Watson, psychotherapist and founder of www.adisorder4everyone.com

"In a time in which people seem to have lost a sense of meaning and purpose, here is a book that is set to embolden and encourage the reader to take the reins back on life in practical, intuitive, and meaningful ways. In typical Maiselian fashion, there is no mucking about--no sugarcoating the trials and tribulations of life. However, his realistic and pragmatic views are sure to resonate with you. Choose Your Life Purposes is sure to provide a much-needed existential jolt as you work to not only examine your life but also revise and (it is hoped) revamp your own life philosophy."

--Arnoldo Cantúuacute;, editor of Practical Alternatives to the Psychiatric Model

"This book offers what it says on the tin with no holds barred. But Eric Maisel does it in the nicest way. There is no recourse to fancy theorizing, no display of erudition, just plain, unequivocal, common sense designed to move a person along in their life. Reading this book will stimulate the right kind of self-questioning. Reading it in a group with others who are in a similar 'stuck' position will help to get the creative juices going. This is a great contribution to the self-help literature!"

--Richard Hallam, author of Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness

"Don't let Eric Maisel's engaging and accessible writing style fool you into thinking this is merely an easy read--there is both deep wisdom and practical advice in these pages. This book challenges you to take ownership of your life in a fresh way. Get it and read it now!"

--Evan Mazunik, composer, pianist, and creativity coach

"I believe that this book is a call to do what will save us emotionally, psychologically and spiritually amidst these overwhelmingly complex times we are living in. Mais
