Chrysalis: Personal Transformation From The Inside Out

The Chrysalis Collection #1

by Ann Vanino, Michelle Taormina (Book Cover Design)

We are living in a time of transformation. Old ways are fading. New ways are emerging. There is an increasing focus within. Many of us are feeling a desire to create a new direction for our lives. Chrysalis: Personal Transformation From The Inside Out uses nature’s process of Chrysalis- a caterpillar transforming to a butterfly – as a guide for our own personal transformation. Each stage of Chrysalis provides a jumping-off point, upon which to reflect about our own experiences as we each transform. The book is written as a journaling stream using the stages of nature’s Chrysalis as containers for thoughts, musings, stories, and creations on personal transformation from the inside out. These writings form separate drops that come together and create a stream. The word Chrysalis is derived from the Greek word Chrysos, which means gold. There is gold in this book for readers as we undergo our own Chrysalis and emerge with wings to fly!

Finding your future

Using an interesting analogy the author reminds us that we are in a world of ongoing challenge and that it is by going inside and becoming silent that we see new possibilities. We must learn to live in a world of uncertainty and to find our own unique meaning and purpose. We are charged with the task of making a difference. We are to listen to each other, help each other, and work together to build the world we want to live in.

This book offers some long-winded theory and perspective on how you should look at the transformation from within. There are hardly any examples (if you can discount butterfly's own transformation, which does have some good perspectives).

Overall, not my kind of book, but then,. it might as well appeal to a more ready audience!
