The Anatomy of a Calling
The Anatomy of a Calling: A Doctor's Journey from the Head to the Heart and a Prescription for Finding Your Life's Purpose | Lissa Rankin
1 post | 2 read | 7 to read
In The Anatomy of a Calling, Lissa Rankin, MD, makes a simple yet revolutionary claim: We are all, every single one of us, heroes. We are all on what Joseph Campbell calls "a hero's journey;" we are all on a mission to step into our true nature and fulfill the assignment our souls were sent to Earth to fulfill. Navigating the hero's journey, Dr. Rankin argues, is one of the cornerstones of living a meaningful, authentic, healthy life. In clear, engaging prose, Dr. Rankin describes her entire spiritual journey for the first time--beginning with what she calls her "perfect storm" of events--and recounts the many transformative experiences that led to a profound awakening of her soul. Through her father's death, her daughter's birth, career victories and failures, and an ongoing struggle to identify as both a doctor and a healer, Dr. Rankin discovers a powerful self-awareness. As she shares her story, she encourages you to find out where you are on your own journey and offers wisdom and inspiration in the form of "Hero's Guideposts" along the way. Dr. Rankin weaves in lessons on trusting intuition, surrendering to love, and learning to see adversity as an opportunity for soul growth. Much more than a memoir, The Anatomy of a Calling guides you to make a powerful shift in consciousness and reach your highest destiny.

Full of wisdom, these doctors skillfully share what they've learned from their unique experiences of the best and worst of humanity and themselves. Beautiful. Educational. Gut-wrenching. Hopeful. Inspiring. Valuable reads for anyone! ~ #Day11 #MemorableMemoirs #booktober #bookphotochallenge ~ @RealLifeReading

BarbaraTheBibliophage I haven't read that Lisa Rankin book, but I loved Gone in a Heartbeat. Spector is one of my Lyme heroes. 8y
RealLifeReading I will have to check these out! They look good 8y
bmsddk @BarbaraTheBibliophage Spector has added great insight to the community! Reading the notes from his conference presentations are so helpful. Anatomy of a Calling gets into the doctor's perspective of health care in general -- she does so beautifully. 8y
bmsddk @RealLifeReading They're wonderful reads 😄 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @bmsddk I'll have to add the Lisa Rankin to my TBR. I've read Mind over Medicine, but this other one sounds like something I'd actually be more interested in reading. 8y
