Testimonials

I've read countless self-help books and found The Artfully Lived Life one of the best by far. Thinking of our subconscious as a committee guided by the Observer-Manager was a new way of processing behavior and emotions for me. The concept was clearly explained. Research was presented to support this perspective, and guided meditations were included to cement this visualization. Overall, I personally benefited from reading The Artfully Lived Life, and I believe others will as well…The authors did a wonderful job of compiling research, making it understandable, and providing ways for readers to apply life-changing principles in their own lives.

Kirkus Reviews

The book was beautiful, full of love and acceptance, offered with a writing style that is as soothing as it is gentle. It's a book that tugged at my heart, changed my views on what it means to be human and possibly to feel broken, and it made me rethink what I know of empathy… if I could recommend it to anyone it would be the world. It's a book that I believe transcends the boundaries of the audience, and speaks to the heart and soul as much as it does to the mind. It was a work of art and a gift, and I feel as if something changed somewhere deep inside me for having read it!

You…have distilled decades of experience into a well-organized, scientifically rigorous approach to self-improvement, understanding, and healing. … as someone with a medical degree but little background in clinical psychology, I appreciated the guided approach to discovery and increased personal awareness. The exercises are detailed and explained well. Having taken the time to complete many of the workbook exercises, questionnaires, and journaling… I do believe that The Artfully Lived Life is a valuable resource and hope that it finds its way into the hands of many who will benefit from this self-guided approach to wellness.

In The Artfully Lived Life Donna and Kim Rogers have created one of the most holistic approaches to wellness and self-worth that one can find. With patience, readers will find the tools needed to reflect on both self-understanding and their relationships with others. All of us should be taking more time (even though it feels daunting) to reflect and ponder our life's various paths, journeys and distractions. This book provides a needed and ultimately transformative guide as we do so, not so that we just "do" better things, but so that we "become" better people.
