The Vision Board -- Now Available in paperback

The Vision Board: The Secret to an Extraordinary Life is a unique “left-brain” approach to a “right-brain” activity. Author Joyce Schwarz captures not only the magic of visions boards with exquisite color photos but details the process of creating successful vision boards.

For those like myself who often approach tasks with the left-brain first, Joyce walks us through the process of visioning and visualization. She distinguishes between the two activities and offers practical explanations and examples. This is followed by simple and practical exercises on creating a personal vision statement. With this firm foundation and understanding, one can then proceed to create their vision and vision board.

Joyce offers an alternative to the all-encompassing life vision board to making vision boards for various areas of your life. She offers chapters on vision boards for relationships, gratitude, health and well-being. I found this approach to be less intimidating than creating one vision board that would cover all life areas.

Case studies, the stories and examples of various vision boards, really set this book apart from others I have read. Hearing about real life experiences and seeing others’ vision boards is truly inspiring. These make creating a vision board less intimidating. They show there is no right or wrong board.

This book can be read many times and each time you will find a new tidbit and piece of wisdom calling out to you. This is a definite addition for the “self-help” or “self-discovery” bookshelf.
