Isabelle St-Jean has written a timely and important book. She empowers us to reveal and live our deepest truth. Her writing is clear and compelling, eloquent and wise. She has lived what she shares, and the stories and examples shine with clarity and grace.

There is no greater gift we can give to others and to ourselves than to open our hearts in loving service. This book — gentle, engaging and generous–models the same behaviors it encourages us to cultivate.

This thoughtful and thought-provoking book is nothing short of brilliant. It’s full of insights along with practical tools and lots of inner exploration, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

What a wise and wonderful read! Isabelle has given us a new map that helps create a life filled with anticipation and excitement for the 40+ man or woman. This book is a celebration of people and their midlife success stories. If everyone coming up to those scary birthdays were given a copy of this book there would be no more mid-life crisis, only opportunities, possibilities and new visions of what is yet to come!

I also initiated and co-created two award-winning anthologies, in collaboration with publisher Dawson Church:

Audacious Aging, in which I wrote part of the Forward, and Einstein’s Business: Engaging Soul, Imagination and Excellence in the Workplace in which I wrote the Introduction and a chapter on Collective Intelligence.

These 2 anthologies are available on Amazon.

Audacious Aging

Einstein’s Business: Engaging Soul, Imagination and Excellence in the workplace

Einstein's Business

Einstein’s Business has been awarded the National Indie Excellence Book Award as the Best Business 2007 Book

Through this unprecedented anthology, you can read the result of a convergence of outstanding authors and leaders who live at the forefront of change in business and personal transformation. The insights, knowledge and wisdom of these 50 authors provide guidance, inspiration and tools to further evolve the workplace. Leaving behind the paradigms of the soulless drive for profits and growth at all costs, this book is trail blazing the way for us to work in the service of humanity with a triple bottom-line focus.
