description: In The Anatomy of a Calling Lissa Rankin MD makes a simple yet revolutionary claim: We are all every single one of us heroes. We are all on what Joseph Campbell calls a hero's journey; we are all on a mission to step into our true nature and fulfill the assignment our souls were sent to Earth to fulfill. Navigating the hero's journey Dr. Rankin argues is one of the cornerstones of living a meaningful authentic healthy life.In clear engaging prose Dr. Rankin describes her entire spiritual journey for the first time-beginning with what she calls her perfect storm of events-and recounts the many transformative experiences that led to a profound awakening of her soul. Through her father's death her daughter's birth career victories and failures and an ongoing struggle to identify as both a doctor and a healer Dr. Rankin discovers a powerful self-awareness. As she shares her story she encourages you to find out where you are on your own journey and offers wisdom and inspiration in the form of Hero's Guideposts along the way. Dr. Rankin weaves in lessons on trusting intuition surrendering to love and learning to see adversity as an opportunity for soul growth. Much more than a memoir The Anatomy of a Calling guides you to make a powerful shift in consciousness and reach your highest destiny.
