In spite of having a good life, author Tom Anderson could not escape the ache in his chest. He knew the time had finally come to find its source when his boss came to him with good news: he was ready to make Tom a partner in his firm. But, in Tom's words, "It was like I had been dating my job for years and was now being offered a marriage, only to discover this was not a place I could spend the rest of my life. Simply put, I felt I was living a life that was just too small." The path of discovery that Tom found, and which he now offers, is the rite of the vision quest. Your Place in the World is a guide for all who long to find the source of their yearning. An inspiring and universal story of self-discovery as related through the author's vision quest experience, it provides readers with a guide for their own heroic journeys to lives of vision, purpose, and service. The message is that we all carry within a gift that can fuel a dream, create an abundant life, and even change the world.
