This book won't ask you to align to your 'higher self'. It won't ask you to work towards something better, or to change yourself to get what you want out of life.

It will tell you to look for the principles that already guide you. To figure out what it is that you are committed to and embrace it. To realise that your commitments are serving you perfectly right now. That they always have and always will.

Your principles are the rules and theories you live by. They determine what you believe. How you see the world. The things you do.

Through the witty and insightful musings of Melanie Kim Brockwell, be guided in a process of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-determination of each of your commitments. Recognise the ideals that build the foundations of who you are. Find love and approval for them. And for yourself as you are in the present.

"This small book is a sample of the new ways we can take the old truths (we thought we were living by), and reinterpret them to give us a new way to let ourselves fully be in every moment, in rapture for the gift that we are and the opportunity that we are given."

- Louise Moriarty, feature poet
