Awareness. Clarity. Power. is a work of non-fiction focusing on New Age themes such as spirituality, personal energy and power in the universe, and was penned by author Jill S MacDonald. Part of the GoWith-In Series, this short and simple guidebook seeks to take its readers within their own psyches when it comes to answering the fundamental questions about life, purpose and happiness. The volume is organized into easy to access sections which progress from self awareness to assertions of the many powers we can find within ourselves. What follows is a journey into the fundamentals of self empowerment, confidence and living for oneself.

One of the things I admire most about the achievements of author Jill S MacDonald in this book is the way her short and accessible lessons on living are condensed into beautifully presented mantras: short phrases which stand out in the formatting and can be returned to as a gentle reminder of the lesson or practice at hand. The tone of the author is highly empowering, and even those who are uncertain of the spiritual considerations in the text will still find huge value in the ideas of retaining and utilizing our own powers, instead of causing suffering by giving them away unknowingly. The section ‘Life Is Not About What You Measure’ was a prime example of the great wisdom that MacDonald has to impart to all of us caught up in the rat race of life, and overall I would certainly recommend Awareness. Clarity. Power. as your next go-to self-help read.

Many people are unaware as they travel through life of the huge extent to which they give away their power to others. Awareness. Clarity. Power. by Jill S MacDonald explores the fundamental reasons that we do this and the consequences which affect every aspect of our lives. Discover the reasons behind our behavior, thoughts, and feelings that result in feelings of inadequacy and unhappiness. Have you ever thought there is more to life than you are experiencing but somehow you always seem to attract the things you don't want? How can we quieten the mind with ease so we can decide the best course of action for us, one that will not leave us with feelings of guilt? This guide of golden nuggets will cleanse your mind, body and soul and open your eyes to a world of possibilities that have always been there for you. Learn to take back your power so you can create your own unique reality.

If I was to list all the 'aha' moments I experienced while working through this superb guide then this review would be the length of the guide itself. Jill S MacDonald has gathered every piece of useful and amazing information and insights which lift the clouds of despair and uncertainty regarding life's questions. I would recommend you work through this guide with your journal close to hand to gain the best possible outcome. I thought the explanation of how we are molded to conform and act in a certain way, which stays with us throughout life, and how it affects our mindset was mind-blowing and so true. What a perfect gift this would make for a teenager that is about to embark on their life journey or is experiencing low self-esteem issues. The explanation into gaining clarity and trusting your gut instinct also resounded with me. The simple but effective insight into how you can silence your mind and open it up to new and exciting possibilities is something I have already started to implement with amazing results. Thank you so much, Jill, for this guide. I hope this is made available to school libraries because it would help adolescents as well as adults make sense of their lives and propel them into the world with self-confidence and pride in their individuality.
