An Intentional Life

We hunger for greater purpose and the chance to create positive change in the world. Yet finding that purpose can be an uphill battle in a culture which discourages meaningful engagement. Still, every one of us can meet the challenge and discover a radically different and rewarding way of living through the simple but transformative practice of intention. This book is an invaluable guide in uncovering and developing the most authentic version of you. Comfortably straddling Western psychology and Eastern contemplative traditions, Dr. Lisa Kentgen has helped hundreds of people remove obstacles and make deep and lasting changes. Here she lays out a method to access and develop the powerful sources of insight and transformation that are within you.

An Intentional Life approaches the question of how to live most authentically in ways both pragmatic and deep. Filled with memorable accounts from Kentgen’s work with clients, as well as with helpful exercises and reflections, it articulates a transformational path traveled by practicing intention in five foundational areas: awareness, reflecting, choosing, acting, and allowing. By developing specific practices in each of these core areas, you can direct them to become powerful tools for living.
