She’s the clinical psychologist who makes the humanist and liberal arts major in me swoon. Her prose plucks my literary heartstrings. She makes daunting questions like “who you were meant to be” simple for the overthinking, edge-of-overwhelm philosopher I am at my core.

And the no-nonsense six tools of self-discovery that she presents in her book, Who You Were Meant to Be: A Guide to Finding or Recovering Your Life’s Purpose, will anchor you in a reality where your purpose doesn’t arrive as a lightening bolt-whopper of an answer but a warm awareness that reveals itself one useful insight at a time.

I’m an advocate of building a sustainable, profitable author business you love by focusing on what interests you and one that’s customized around your life and personality. Gibson’s tools of self-discovery go deeper — to the heart of who you are and who you are meant to be —but the responses you get will dovetail perfectly with the conception of a proper author life I write about.

Start becoming aware of your energy shifts, what you recognize, what you envy, what appeals to you, your phyiscal responses…
