Reimagining Success - by Maureen Fallon-Cyr (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Everyone longs for a successful and fulfilling life. Yet many of us may experience success only in certain areas of our life. For instance, we may do well at work yet struggle in our home life. We may enjoy certain comforts yet suffer from depression, anxiety, or addictions. How can we experience success and well-being across our life? We can learn to clear the blocks and fears that are holding us in unhealthy patterns. Bringing the power of mindfulness and psychology together, we can locate the roots of our limiting patterns to heal them, clearing the way for us to reconnect with our own Essence, a wellspring of inner composure and wisdom that serves as our inner compass, guiding us to choices and actions that create a happy, fulfilling life. When we are in connection with our Essence, we reclaim the aliveness, confidence and freedom we experienced as young children, inspired to live as we are meant to live.

"It is my pleasure to write these words inviting you to go on a journey with Maureen Fallon-Cyr to explore Reimagining Success: Manifesting Happiness and Fulfillment. As a meditation teacher, I've known Maureen for many years, initially through sitting on meditation retreats at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Northern California where I teach. I have always been impressed by her courage, willingness, and honesty to explore the inner world, including the most vulnerable parts of the psyche, in the quest to find true peace and freedom. Today, as a beloved meditation teacher with strong meditation practice and a deep psychology background, she expertly guides students in accessing and awakening their own understanding, love, and inner peace. Based on their decades of experience, Maureen and her husband Mark have developed a model that can be applied to anyone, no matter what their psychological or spiritual background, or field of interest might be. Through engaging anecdotes and conversations with her clients, as well as personal sharing of her own story, she leads the reader through a journey to help them discover their own gifts and develop the areas where more attention will lead to true success-not the material success that most people are chasing, but a success resulting in a sense of genuine fulfillment and ease."

-James Baraz, cofounder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and author of Awakening Joy: Ten Steps That Will Put You on the Road to Real Happiness

"I have had the privilege of knowing Maureen and Mark Fallon-Cyr for over 30 years. Having trained together at a Harvard teaching hospital in Boston, working with underserved persons with severe and persistent mental illness, I witnessed the birth of their life-long dedication to the mental well-being of all people, regardless of their backgrounds or life experiences. Since then, I have watched Maureen hone her therapeutic skills, integrating traditional and non-traditional approaches to healing with a unique approach. The True Success model encompasses a wholistic vision of healing and wellness that has the potential to be life altering for those who chose to follow this path. Maureen's warmth, along with the specific tools included in Reimagining Success: Manifesting Happiness and Fulfillment make it an approachable and engaging read. As a psychiatrist who treats patients, teaches psychiatry, and engages with the community, I see this work as important and empowering."
