Writing that he is “passionate about helping people find their life path by helping them understand and use their own soul guidance,” Acheson’s self-help guide seeks to align the reader with both God’s will and one’s own instinct to overcome life traumas and reach the greatest natural potential possible. Through sharing selections of his own intimate poetry, the author explains it is his hope that sharing his personal pain in life will help readers realize that change and spiritual progress are always possible. Examination of one’s many habit-based perceptions and the power of choice and intention serve as fodder for the ultimate goal of “metanoia,” defined as “the journey of changing one’s mind, heart, self, or way of life.” Finding one’s center and purpose is a process that takes time, Acheson contends. But with the right tools and perspective, it can absolutely happen.
Despite some misspellings and minor grammatical mistakes throughout the text, there are definite strengths in Acheson’s guide to be highlighted. His willingness to reveal personal, sometimes troubling, biographical information from his past in order to provide real-world context and drive home his points reveals an honest sensibility and direct openness. Additionally, the writer's abundant passion for this material and the generous nature in which he shares his message become quite evident. This is his life’s work, and the knowledge and guidance shared in these pages can easily benefit other interested readers. Embarking on such a transformative process, Acheson advises, will allow readers to “dig deeper into themselves than they ever initially thought possible.”
