About this ebook

What if you could move from anxious to assured with every decision you make? Dr. Anita Phillips, author of the New York Times bestselling The Garden Within, returns with a book that reveals how to grow a truly fruitful life--one right decision at a time.

A good life is made up of good choices. But in our post-pandemic, hyperconnected, information-overloaded world, anxiety plagues every decision. And when it comes to high-stakes decisions--the big life choices that affect things like our careers, finances, or relationships--anxiety can lead to decision paralysis.

In The Garden Within, Dr. Anita revealed how to flourish through embracing our emotions. Now she's back, extending the principles of seed-soil-plant-fruit that animate our inner gardens into a four-step decision-making process: knowing-feeling-thinking-doing.

A Fruitful Life combines Dr. Anita's personal stories, professional research as a licensed therapist, spiritual insights, and the latest advances in biology to give you

  • a decision-making method that will profoundly impact the choices you make related to your relationships, purpose, and legacy;
  • practical ways to apply wisdom so you can let go of second-guessing and regret;
  • freedom to embrace the important role that emotion plays in every decision; and
  • confidence in knowing there is a time-tested process for making right decisions in every area of your life.

Be empowered to step out of the anxiety you feel about present and future decisions, and embrace the peace of knowing how to make the right decision. Every time.
