"Aim to be that infinite soul whose generosity is an expression of your limitless vocabularies."

The modern world is a hostile place for many of us. Our contemporary era's worship of individualism, the one-minute fame we crave on social media, the obsession with socialites, the cult of hedonism, the ruthless arena of work and ambitious careers, the deepening feeling of alienation from love... All of us, regardless of our personality type, are experiencing a profound crisis of meaning, and it is not easy to picture a way out.

This is where INFJs come into the picture. Given the way that they are built, INFJs are uniquely sensitive to the challenges of the modern world, and can easily become invested with a sense of mission. But this call to act, which many of them feel in their bones, also exposes them to the risk of prolonged lethargy, apathy and depression.

This book, the much-awaited sequel to The Ecstatic Soul, is intended as a survival guide for INFJs as they navigate the troubled waters of modern life. How can INFJs find and maintain romantic relationships? How can they reconnect with meaning? Can they learn to authentically laugh again? What kinds of social personas are actually beneficial to them? All these questions, which have to do with the here and now of INFJ life, are explored with all the depth they deserve. Obstacles are identified and solutions offered.

What INFJs want from life can be stated simply: something fulfilling, rich, and filled with purpose. This book sets out to explain precisely how this can be done, in the very midst of this reality we often find so harrowing. The key to INFJ liberation, it will turn out, is to open up your spiritual attitude to become an infinite soul. The task may seem daunting at first, but the prospects are brighter than you think.
