Heed Your Call

Integrating Myth, Science, Spirituality, and Business

Description

Heed Your Call is about embracing the power of and. It is for the person who has come to a place in life where toiling away at work in pursuit of the American dream just isn’t worth the punishment anymore. It is for the professional who wants to feel more connected and fulfilled, the spiritual seeker who believes gaining wealth diminishes the sacred, the innovator being stifled creatively, and the people who want to become the heroes of their own stories.

This book is about following your path, creating a life of abundance and joy, and doing your part to repair the world.

Through telling his own story, along with those of other modern-day entrepreneurial heroes, David M. Howitt shares the principles behind his and others’ successes in eleven real-world lessons on how we can apply sim­ple principles that help us weave business into our spiritual narratives and pour our souls into our professions. By uniting artistry and analytics and integrating intuition with intel­lect, we positively affect the way we live and the world around us. Through the activation of creative principles, living authentically, and absorbing new experiences, we evolve from the radical integration of so-called disparate worlds. We birth a new reality and build a road map for our future.

"David has unlocked the tools to truly 'heed my call.' As a career woman trying to balance a high pressure job with parenting two children, his constructs are invaluable and if followed, can dramatically support us in living our best lives—filled with love, material wealth, peace, and most importantly, fun. David's voice in Heed Your Call resonates deeply with me and will for all who are ready to take the journey."
