Kristine Carlson built the bestselling franchise Don't Sweat the Small Stuff with her husband Richard. In December 2006, Richard died suddenly and Kristine was left to "sweat" one of the biggest events of her life-the death of her spouse. In her new book, From Heartbreak to Wholeness, Carlson offers a guide to the journey everyone takes following loss. It's a hero's journey from a life that's been shattered to one that is finally whole again and capable of receiving joy. Carlson knows that any great loss leads to some type of transformation. She also knows that transformation is messy, but, when one chooses to be the hero rather than the victim, joy exists just on the other side of healing. In nine short chapters that include thought exercises, mantras for each stage of healing, and a journaling assignment, Carlson leads the reader from the crisis itself through the awakening that comes from great loss, over the jagged edges of growth and finally, through the alchemy of change, to rebirth as a hero who is sovereign, whole and-once again-in control of their own life. As readers take this journey with Carlson, they'll feel more at home in their own bodies and more authentic to their true nature. They'll feel more alive and access more joy than they thought possible. Take the journey From Heartbreak to Wholeness with Kristine Carlson and let her show you how to be the hero of your own life.
