Your Radical Living Challenge: 7 Questions for Leading a Meaningful Life

Entrepreneur and transformative coach Marni Battista offers a unique blend of spiritual wisdom and practical exercises designed to redefine success and reignite the passion in your life.

Rooted in neuroscience, somatics, and a whole-self approach to transformation, Your Radical Living Challenge employs seven prescriptive lessons based on the seven spiritual questions ancient rabbis imagine being asked at the gates of heaven to determine whether one has lived a meaningful life.

“Did you seek wisdom?”
“Were you hopeful?”
“Were you true to your most authentic and essential self?”
“Did you make time for your spiritual life?”
“Did you busy yourself with creation?”
“Did you recognize the blessings?”
“Were you YOU?”

Each spiritual question posed in the narrative is illustrated by a personal Radical Living Challenge story–the author’s or a client’s. Prescriptive workbook style exercises are woven throughout each section, helping readers to ask questions crafted to overcome fears and resistance, define success on their terms, and design their own year of radical living. Inside each section Battista examines the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and freedom, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.
