We live in difficult, stressful times. You've read books and done workshops, but you still have to face so many stubborn obstacles. Yet it's often our pain and dissatisfaction that push us to seek a more conscious life.

Your Ultimate Life Planis the missing "how to" for getting unstuck and moving past your problems and into a richer and more meaningful life, creating lasting change, and making a difference. It's a roadmap to living your most happy, most authentic, most amazing life.

Your Ultimate Life Plan is a practical guide that will help you improve every moment of your life by teaching you how to build:

Confidence: remove what is stopping you

Strength: move from your wounded ego into your sacred self

Courage: make smarter choices by embracing your four levels of consciousness

Success: rise to your next level of happiness, clarity, and transformation

Your Ultimate Life Plan is the distillation of Dr. Howard's 20-plus years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist and spiritual teacher.

This "workshop in a book" will help you do more than understand your true self—you'll experience it.
