PREFACE I kept hearing it everyday. “I feel stuck, Dr David, I have no idea what to do about it. I hate my job and the thought of doing anything else scares me. In fact I don’t even know what I’d do if I had the choice.” It always astonishes me that people continue to work at jobs they dislike. They wake in the morning and feel a sense of helplessness, frustration and anger at having to spend another day in an uninspiring vocation. This fact dawned on me during the Summer of 2012 while I was consulting in my Chiropractic and Wellness practice. I never really set out to find out this fact, nor was it what I was really thinking about myself. I had the fortunate situation to be in a job I loved. And now I’m constantly defining, refining and clarifying exactly how I’d love it to be. This was certainly not the reality other people began sharing with me in my office. It was often the same story told over and over again. They were feeling powerless at how to do anything about their current circumstance. Their ideal lives—if they ever had a vision of such a thing, had become so clouded by the noise and stressors of their current life. As the evidence grew that this was the way things were for so many of my patients, I began to wonder if perhaps it was happening to others as well. The deeper I looked, the more I discovered that in fact it was the unfortunate truth for a significant proportion of the population. This disturbed me. It viscerally shook something inside me. So I decided to set out on a journey to discover the factors—the principles and practices—necessary to transcend a mediocre existence. I studied the lives of people who had made it a reality. I researched the wisdom of the ages from the ancient traditions of the East and the West right through to modern psychology. The result is what you currently hold in your hands. I’ve distilled thousands of years of teachings into the nine steps to overcoming your limitations and learning to love your life. This book is my attempt at helping you live an inspired life. Welcome to Making a Living vs Making a Dying. Dr David Pierotti
