This book is beautiful. Ecotherapy, positive psychology and mythic spiritual wisdom all meet in one clear self-help approach – it made me smile all the way through, and the exercises are so simple too, which I appreciate a lot.

Who This Book Is For?
People Facing Life's Challenges
I want to give hope to those facing challenges in life, maybe offering a hint or two how to move on, when life feels overwhelming. We can work on our thinking models and find ways out.
Spiritual Seekers
Life may feel somehow empty. The Medicine Wheel and its steps bring us towards true meaning of life, closer to our vision and soul calling, helping us to start now, in this very situation we are at.
Those Curious about Andean Cosmology
The whole book is based on the framework of Andean cosmology, thus giving a snapshot of the teachings of the Andean indigenous people.
Single Moms, Parents of Neurodivergent Children or any other Parent who needs Hope
Being a single mom of an undiagnosed, neurodivergent child for twenty-two years, I know the pain inside a parent, and especially a single parent. The only thing in those situations is to work on our thinking patterns and find inner strength in those situations, as we cannot change the environment.
Busy Professionals
It is never too late to slow down and start thinking what kind of life you really want to live. This book gives an example of a transformation journey of a single mother, from the global corporate world to fulfilling own mission. You can step on that kind of a journey, too, to find clarity and purpose in life.
