<DIV><DIV><p class="MsoNormal c1781"><i>The Shift</i>-a companion book to the movie of the same name-illustrates how and why to make the move from ambition to meaning. Such a shift eliminates our feelings of separateness, illuminates our spiritual connectedness, and involves moving from the ego-directed <i>morning</i> into the <i>afternoon</i> of life where everything is primarily influenced by purpose.</p><p class="MsoNormal c1781">As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction. It's almost a universal law that we'll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose.</p><p class="MsoNormal c1781">The Shift doesn't mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego's agenda.</p><p class="c1782">As <b>Dr. Wayne W. Dyer</b> so eloquently reveals in these pages, we all have the choice to shift our lives from ambition to meaning . . . and thereby complete our return to the Source that created us.</p></div></div>
