The Power of You - by Chris Michaels (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Winner of the 2014 Nautilus Award represents "Better Books for a Better World"--the Silver Award in the category of Personal Growth/ Self-Help.

Practical, motivating, and inspiring ways to unleash your potential--from one of today's most exciting spiritual teachers!

You are a masterpiece. You have everything you need right now to create your life exactly as you want it to be.

Successful people will often say that when they're at their peak performance level, they feel a sense of some other presence with them--something beyond themselves. That other presence seems bigger than their own talent or personality.

The Power of You guides readers in discovering the other presence that resides within all of us. As author and spiritual director Chris Michaels shows, once we are able to tap into this presence, we can use it to help improve every aspect of our lives.

--Dr. Roger W. Teel, Senior Minister and Spiritual Director of Mile Hi Church (Denver, CO) and author of This Life is Joy!

"Chris Michaels is the Norman Vincent Peale for our generation. He has written a 'gateway' book -- one that introduces big essential life questions about who we are and what we are here to do, and then answers them simply and clearly through principles, inspiring stories and humor. You'll want to read this book with a highlighter!"
--August Gold, co-author of The Prayer Chest and Multiply Your Blessings

"Dr. Chris Michaels has written a passionate and compelling book about such questions as why am I here and what am I supposed to be doing? In bold, confident and fearless language, Dr. Chris takes on the big ideas: God, your mind, and the very purpose of existence. At the end of the book I felt like I had been picked up, dusted off, straightened out and placed gently back on the path of my own soul's assignment."
--Edward Viljoen, author of The Power of Meditation

"God broke the mold after He created Chris Michaels. In The Power of You, Chris' brilliance and originality as a master teacher shines through on every page with authenticity, transparency, wit, wisdom, and a plethora of sidesplitting humor. If you are wise enough to follow his lead, Chris will guide you, prod you, lift you, but mostly, inspire you to take full ownership of the power you were given to be yourself. The truth is that God broke the mold after He created you as well. Now is the time to prove it."
--Dennis Merritt Jones, author of The Art of Uncertainty and Your Redefining Moments

"In The Power of You, Chris Michaels creates a portal into a vast new understanding of life. The ideas and images he projects are clear and palatable, even when addressing concepts that may otherwise seem elusive. The Power of You does not talk to us, but rather awakens a knowing within us that has been waiting patiently to emerge. This wonderful book will leave us all feeling better about ourselves and more open to exploring life's greatest mysteries."
--John B. Waterhouse, president of Centers for Spiritual Living
