Synopsis

In this provocative, raw and deeply honest book, Leslie Malin opens the door to allow bravery and transformation to enter for all of us. Who has not suffered from self-doubt, fear of failure, and loss? The essential question is "Can I brave life's storms or will I curl up in the desire to be safe rather than venture forth to meet my future?"

Cracked Open is a meditation. This volume combines quotations from many traditions, eras, and genres, coupled with the author's reflections on their meaning. Leslie Malin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years in the field. Her reflections are grounded in her personal history, as well as enriched by standing witness for her clients as they triumphed over daunting challenges.

This book can:

• Embolden you to take back your power
• Use difficulties as inspiration
• Embrace your discomfort, fear, and shame
• Throw off your fear of failure and discover lessons for transformation
• Turn loss and sorrow into hope, courage, and joy.
• Change you and thereby change your future.

Cracked Open's interior four-colored presentation presents a quotations page with a corresponding reflections page. Read this book cover to cover. Then explore its deeper value when you randomly enter at any page to discover just the right quotation and reflection that can lead your thinking into channels of deeper personal awareness.
