Soulshaping

A Journey of Self-Creation

De: Jeff Brown

Narrado por: Jeff Machado

An engaging, inspirational memoir that takes readers on a soul-searching journey toward heart-consciousness and spiritual authenticity

Ever since childhood, Jeff Brown did all the things he was supposed to do to become successful in the eyes of the world. He was on the Dean’s Honor List as an undergraduate. He won the Law and Medicine prize in law school and apprenticed with a top criminal lawyer. It had been Brown’s lifelong dream to practice criminal law and search for the truth in the courtroom.

But then, on the verge of opening a law practice, he heard a little voice inside telling him to stop, just stop. With great difficulty, he honored this voice and began a heartfelt quest for the truth that lived within him. Although he didn’t realize it at the time, Brown was actually questing for his innate image, the essential being that he came into this lifetime to embody. He was searching for his authentic face.

By going inside and connecting his spirituality with his emotional life, he learned essential lessons. By learning to surrender to the "School of Heart Knocks"—the school of life—the found his authentic face and embraced the call to write.

Soulshaping is an inspiring memoir for anyone who has heard a whisper of something truer calling out to them amid the distractions of modern life. Jeff’s dramatic and often funny story takes readers through remarkably human experiences—emotional, physical, and economic—as he vividly recounts his journey to discover his soul’s purpose. A work of courageous self-creation, Soulshaping reminds us that we are all truly connected, that our seemingly isolated struggles are actually part of the shared human challenge to live a life that is heart-centered and soul-driven.

Learn through his story

As the author shared his own personal journey, I was able to relate some of my own life experiences, and Paul wisdom from this book. I loved that there was very little theory, and just practical wisdom from his own life experiences.

you can tell it's been written over a long period

quite honestly a friend of mine recommended this book to me I found it enjoyable in the beginning and then ridiculously tedious towards the end and then suddenly he just comes out with all these different doctrines and philosophies as if to kind of summarize everything and hodgepodge what took people decades to come up with and research he slaps a label on it in a humdrum using corny puns. truthfully the addendum was probably better than the entire book. I enjoyed a few stories about his life but the philosophy and his actual use of the word warrior over and over again was a bit misleading and misguided... what is this guy know about being a warrior or a veteran calling himself a soldier just because he's going through some spiritual stuff fine for people who have never actually seen death in the battlefield keep placating it and use it. the other thing I hated about this book was the constant references to the retreats and the massages as being part of his warrior struggle LOL. I found some things insightful but other things he has no clue about. like I said fast forward to the addendum and you'll actually get some good wisdom out of it otherwise be prepared for a long drawn-out drama queen of a man.
