Re-Imagining Life on the Outside Pocket Guide

This powerful little pocket guide helps ex-offenders jump-start their lives by re-imagining a new reality within their grasp – a positive and hopeful future filled with purpose, passion, meaning, empathy, and love. It’s a “get-up-and-go” guide for those experiencing the dark side of life – especially ex-offenders serving idle time in an often mind-numbing and stressful human zoo. Anxious and curious minds behind prison bars seek answers to these two questions – “Is there more to life than this?” and “What should I do with the rest of my life?” These questions serve as clarion calls for self-transformation outlined in this attractive little book. This self-directed pocket guide shows ex-offenders how to change their mindsets about who they are, what they want to do, and where they want to be. Nine key sections – filled with a revealing collection of self-tests, exercises, questions, insights, and strategies – provide a strong foundation for developing one’s purpose: Happiness; Gratitude; Mindfulness; Attitude; Anger Management; Values; Passions; Motivated Abilities and Skills; Goals and Objectives. Users discover how to live a meaningful life on purpose and with passion – a life centered on their most important values, skills, and goals. The book shows how to join the growing number of mindful people – those struggling with “mind wandering,” boredom, loneliness, anger, and depression – who have transformed themselves into happy, healthy, resilient, wise, kind, loving, self-compassionate, socially connected, and successful individuals. An important resource for rebuilding troubled lives.
