Listening for the Voice of Vocation

About this book

The 25th Anniversary Edition of a modern classic, with a new Introduction by its celebrated author

"Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?" With this searching question, bestselling author Parker J. Palmer begins his insightful and moving meditation on finding our way toward meaning and purpose. As readers of many ages, backgrounds and walks of life will attest, Let Your Life Speak is an elegant and openhearted gift to all who seek to live authentically.

We find a path that's right for us by embracing what gives us life and rejecting what diminishes us, listening more closely to the voice of "true self" than to what others expect or demand of us. As we live more deeply into our own identity and integrity, we find both personal fulfillment and our place in the community to which we belong. As always, Palmer writes honestly and vulnerably about his own life, including the fumbles and failures that have marked his unconventional vocational journey. He chronicles his deep dives into depression, and his quest for "an undivided life" that would allow him to offer his best gifts to the world. The details of his story are unique, but the insights he draws from it are universal.

Let Your Life Speak offers no simplistic formulas for finding a meaningful path through life's complexities. Instead, it offers real-life experience, thoughtfully mined for insight and wisdom:

Learn how to listen to your inner teacher and follow its guidance toward a sense of meaning and purpose
Reframe your life as a series of "experiments with truth, " learning from those that fail as well as those that work
Understand that the doors that close behind you can offer as much guidance as those that open up
Gain inspiration and resolve from the lives of seekers who have walked this path before you

Enjoy the wisdom, compassion, gentle humor and companionship of a master teacher in a beloved book that has helped hundreds of thousands of people find their way toward meaning and purpose.
