The Renaissance Soul

Book Descrip­tion from Amazon

How do I decide what to do with my life when there are so many things I want to do?

It is con­ven­tional wisdom that there is one true path in life for each of us. But what about those with a wide array of interests, a dynamic curiosity about the world, and an ever-renewing well­spring of passions? Margaret Loben­s­tine calls these people “Renais­sance Souls,” and in this ground­break­ing book, she offers a life-planning strategy in tune with their dynamic, change-loving per­son­al­i­ties. Renais­sance Souls often get stuck, moving from entry-level job to entry-level job, degree to degree, or hobby to hobby, unwilling to settle on just one thing to do “for the rest of my life.” Or, after achieving success in one field, they yearn for new chal­lenges and begin looking around for something different. Yet they are also afraid that if they pursue their changing interests, they will have to give up on financial security, becoming “a jack of all trades and master of none.”

The Renais­sance Soul, the first book devoted to this per­son­al­ity type, not only shows that it’s possible to design a suc­cess­ful, vibrant life built on multiple passions, but also gives readers the practical advice to do so. Loben­s­tine arms the reader with powerful life-design strate­gies, including how to:

*Under­stand the exciting and powerful dif­fer­ence between choice and focus

*Transform your day job so that it carries your dreams forward

*Manage your time the Renais­sance Soul way

*Thrive on many interests without feeling scattered

*Get paid for your passions

*Learn a new field without going back to school

*Get inspired by Renais­sance Souls from ancient times to the present, from Leonardo da Vinci to Ben Franklin to Oprah Winfrey

Stocked with creative exercises, relevant resources, and inter­views with suc­cess­ful Renais­sance Souls, this pro­foundly inspiring guide will show readers the way to a richer, more ful­fill­ing life — big enough to embrace all their dreams.
