It's not that I don't like Lissa Rankin. In fact, I have adored reading her last two books, and I am profoundly impressed with the changes that she is attempting to make in how the practice of medicine is conducted with patients in the United States (and eventually the whole world), leading to both healthier and happier patients AND doctors. No, the reason I was prepared to not like this book was because I had some kind of preconception that she had already said everything she had to say in the last two books. That in some way ... reminiscent of the music business ... she was a "one hit wonder" or maybe a "two hit wonder". But certainly not someone who had not yet hit her stride in writing. And boy, was I ever WRONG. Even though, as I said, I adored the last two books ("Mind Over Medicine" and "The Fear Cure"), this new book ("The Anatomy of a Calling") is just brilliant, and possibly her best book yet. It successfully combines a truly tear-provoking account of the rawness of her own journey of coming-into-her-own-power, while at the same time blending it wonderfully with the mythic hero's journey as espoused by Joseph Campbell and others. And what I think I might appreciate the most about this book, is that it is profoundly "humble". This is not a story about a woman who is trying to grab the title of "hero" or "heroine" for herself. On the contrary, Lissa Rankin makes it clear that most heroes don't even consider themselves heroic (reminds me of Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger and that landing in the Hudson River in 2009), but instead project profound humility while working their way through the immense challenges with which they are faced. And that's exactly what happens here. Much of the time, Lissa Rankin is justifiably terrified by the immensity of what she is going through, and she struggles just to keep going. But keep going she does, with courage and guts, and has ended up not only accomplishing great things, but also giving us a wonderful read. This is one of those excellent books about someone else ... like "lives of the saints" or superbly written biographies ... that can give us a roadmap for living our own lives. I strongly urge you to get this book and read it. The story itself is fascinating, and the style of writing is superb, but you are also going to come away with a slew of new ideas on how to improve the quality of your own life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring Dose of Courage and a Great Read *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2016* From the moment I picked up this book, I was captivated and couldn't put it down. I was literally reading pages in between taking dishes out of my dishwasher. Lissa writes so beautifully, but also talks about how scary yet amazing the journey of following your dreams can be. After reading this book I felt realistically courageous and empowered to truly commit to my dreams. I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone who feels they are being nudged off the beaten path and pulled by the Universe to do something bigger with their lives. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Book To Buy For 2016 *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016* I have just finished reading your book. My heart and sense of adventure is bursting. I have a dozen sticky notes marking pages that need to be re-visited and names if books written down that I need to read to assist with my journey. Thank you Lissa for showing us, your big, ugly tail and I will endeavour to show off mine as well. I am honoured to be part of your Karass and from Australia I will stand shoulder to shoulder in United Oneness (as you describe) to change the World. Of the hundreds of "Spiritual Self Help" books that have impacted my life, The Anatomy of a Calling is my guide to push forward on my Hero's Journey, I know now that I am never alone. Bless You from every molecule and atom of my being. If you by ONE book this year, make it this one!
