This is my Amazon.com review of Being Called to Change
Distraction or Destiny?
by Russ Burck, PhD
Twenty years ago, as I began to prepare to retire, I wanted a business in retirement. Or something. I didn't know what I really wanted. Thankfully the higher powers of the universe that have my back--they knew. It was, among other things, this book. If I had not put myself in a community of entrepreneurs, I might not have learned about it. So, my first comment is that I'm deeply grateful for it and for the journey in retirement that brought me and this book together.
I received my Kindle version five days ago in return for promising to write an "honest review" by tomorrow, 27 February 2018. The book is simple, brief, and profound, not to mention filled with weeks' worth of exercises that are actually a lifetime program of self-study, as in, studying oneself. So, to meet that deadline and the book-gifter's specifications, I'm letting go of my personal criteria for a thorough-enough book review.
Careful reading, completion of the exercises, and some journaling about what I got from experiencing this book would yield the best honest review. Time doesn't permit. It does, however, permit letting go--the author's central concept, commitment, and challenge--of a "perfect" review for one that's good-enough.
Change is not the unusual course. It's the truth of life. In not changing lie deception and harm. The ego, which can seem like the bad guy in this book, though it isn't, cajoles, demands, misguides, tricks, (etc.) us into trying to stay the same, to hold on. How does it do that? It distracts. Brilliantly. Continuously.
The ego does some things that aren't good for us, of course, but its big offense is that it sequesters energy that our soul could otherwise be using for higher good. That contribution of Halaway’s, all by itself, is a major step forward for debates about whether the ego should go.
Transformation is about gradually soothing and addressing the fear that motivates the ego and re-directing its energy to the soul. So that we can live the life we really want to live. (Yes, one of the exercises is, “Are you living the life you really want to live?”) And connect with our divinity within.
Along the way expect practical definitions of ego, soul, transformation; universal laws that commend and support letting go; stories about efforts to let go that were pipe dreams and about how really feeling the fear (as well as ALL feelings) opened the path of transformation. And lists, lots of them. about quite useful matters, like what to do with feelings, what relevant universal laws pertain to change, and what are qualities of your ego and your soul?
Jesse Krieger, of Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Press, thank you for giving me the chance to review this book.
P.S. for Goodreads: Now to go back and do the exercises. :)
