The Intentional Life: Reflections from Conscious Living

Do you often move through life unconsciously? Buying what is advertised to you? Reading what pops up on your newsfeed? Moving mindlessly from one day to the next? In this must-read book, you will learn how to put that behind you and take the first steps to living an intentional life. Author and businesswoman Meredith Whipple Callahan defines living an intentional life as consciously aligning what you do with what you want. In her intimate personal essays, she illustrates living intentionally in everything from becoming a parent to navigating work pressures. Through the lens of her life, Callahan unpacks themes of raising awareness, reflecting deeply, aligning behaviors, and, ultimately, surrendering to the process. She shares each reflection with vulnerability, authenticity, and humility. The book also provides reflection questions after each essay, prompting you to come to your own insights along the way. Both philosophical and practical, this book -- and this author -- will call you to the next level of conscious living.
