Alison Jessica Weihe’s ‘Belonging: Finding Tribes of meaning’ is a work of art to nourish the soul.
But more than that, it is an autobiographical memoir, a dual case study in activism and entrepreneurship, and also a book of principles for deep and genuine personal development. On a grand scale.
The book is a thing of beauty, and it is definitely worth investing in the print edition for your bookshelf. I already find myself referring back to it for Alison’s wisdom and collection of fascinating facts from her rich life story.
What I especially appreciate is the masterful way in which she has woven together threads from art, literature, business personal development and even spiritual principles with her signature artistry. Having seen Alison in action on stage as a “writer who speaks’, I recognise the same seductive lure to take action. And that action is often within.
Not only does ‘Belonging’ make for a page-turning journey from Alison’s shy and often tormented beginnings to her glamorous presence on the global stage today. It also lays the foundations of her principle of Identity Intelligence. As she writes in Chapter 6, Identity Intelligence is a potent vehicle for transformation at every level. Alison’s book (and her tangible presence in it, and on stage) demonstrates what Identity Intelligence can do in action.
‘Belonging’ is an outstanding example of what is possible with a book, and a lesson for any aspiring author, speaker or entrepreneur.
Get it in print. With spares. This is a book you will be gifting to those like-minded souls in your world time and again.
