About The Book
The seventy topics in Rites of Man provide an opportunity to determine what you may need right now in your life to make your best decisions. As well as looking at positive qualities, the book addresses the shadow side of life, examining sensitive topics to stimulate thinking and inquiry into how you may have acted in the past, where you are now, and where you can change to make the most of your talents and opportunities.
Each one of us can take the helm at any point in our evolving lives. We can let go of all that no longer serves us and call in all that can take us forward toward greater freedom, peace, and happiness. Rites of Man, with its soon to be released deck of accompanying cards, is the perfect tool, gift, or resource for improving relationships, career, and quality of life.

Extract from The Wild Card
‘The Wild Card’ is all about You. It is about your one precious life, living your personal truth, your passion, and your purpose. It is about what turns you on, nurtures your spirit, and caresses your soul. It is about being happy and feeling successful. It is an affirmation, an invitation, and an inquiry into all that you love: the people, the places, the hobbies, and the causes dear to your heart. It is about remembering that life can be all too short to take it for granted, play small, choose to be a victim, or hide under a bushel. It is about showing up, shining your light, making a difference, and changing lives – yours, and those of everyone you meet. Life is waiting for you to grab it and live it fully – right here, right now.
We feed our hearts and minds just as we feed our bodies, either with junk food or organic delights to tickle our taste buds and enrich our spirits. The market stall for a great life is set up inside each one of us. It stands opposite a stall called ‘a lesser life.’ We are the owners and prospective customers of both. We get to choose which one we furnish, and which one we visit to purchase our daily dose of life. The stalls represent our thoughts, our beliefs, and our habits. They contain the different aspects of this book and deck. ‘The Wild Card’ is a bonus, a reminder that you can choose every day which stall to eat from. You can stick two fingers up at life in anger or two fingers and a thumb with a wry smile. You can make peace, forgive, share your talents, learn a new skill, help another, open your heart, remember your passion and drive, and go for your dreams. You can make love your purpose. We, humans, are here to do life together. . . if only we could grasp that. If we can, our lives can open up to new possibilities, and we can see the world very differently. Life can smell sweeter and feel like the great adventure that it truly is. The Wild Card is a calling to you: “Please live your best life now.”
