âBeloved Readers, what does it mean to feel empowered and happy?â asks author Uloma Cooper. âSurprisingly, these feelings do not always coexist. We need women to feel happy, while accomplishing great feats. This book is that call to action and I hope you feel inspired to be 'the President' in your life.â
Is it possible for a woman to be empowered and be happy? This book by Uloma Cooper explores the question from a research perspective, utilizing the method of narrative analysis to examine womenâs one-on-one interviews. What makes this book special is the focus on the narrative voice of the women participants, which differentiates it from previous explorations and research.
These participants are among those Western women who are a part of the vanguards who infiltrated the male dominated workforce and advanced toward significant professional empowerment. The findings suggest that a fear-based survival mode is keeping women, who outwardly seem empowered, from an inner feeling of empowerment and thus from happiness. The participants spoke of being called to greater fulfillment in their lives and recognized that conscious active responsibility would be necessary to satisfy those needs, though in many cases it remained unclear whether they would decide to act upon the realization or not. It is of great importance that we pay attention to such womenâs interpretation of their experiences.
Society needs to attend to the findings explored within this book. These results are critical to psychological health and reflect deeply on how to help women find the courage to move forward. Because a healthy society relies on women rising, owning their experience, balancing their priorities, and having access to steps for health, it is clear that womenâs emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health would be improved through access to specific programs that will promote unconditional love, integration, and conscious awareness designed to access the individualâs inner sage and as yet unrealized potentialities.
âTracy Cooper has given us an insightful exploration of what it means to be an empowered woman and a happy womanâat the same time. Are women supposed to fit into a masculine model in order to be successful, and is âhaving it allâ (relationship, motherhood, and work) equivalent to happiness? Here, in this well-thought-out book, we look at how authenticity for women leads to happiness, and to our own unique kind of internal and external fulfillment.â
-Penney Peirce, author of Leap of Perception, Frequency, and The Intuitive Way
âInspired to Greatness puts forward a compelling call to us women to find an authentic balance between living in the world in a powerful way and finding happiness in our personal lives. It makes clear not only that we need to do this for ourselves but that itâs equally important that we do so for the world we live in.â
-Christine Downing, author of The Goddess

Ways to the Self: Five Conversations
By Murray Stein & Diane Stanley
In this volume, Murray Stein and Diane Stanley explore, compare and contrast key features of the Buddhist view of Self liberation and the Jungian process of individuation. In Chapter One, they share experiences that opened a path to Self-knowledge in their own lives, including psychedelics, meditation, synchronicity, dreams and active imagination. The value of integrating transcendent experiences is explored in Chapter Two. In Chapter Three, they look at art work as soul-work, based on a series of twenty-four pictures from a Jungian analysis. What do such images, absent the specific dream content from which they arise, reveal about the direction of individuation? Chapter Four focuses on the tensions and difficulties of living in two worlds - the temporal and the timeless - as well as on the unconscious drive to bring them into synergy. Finally, the discussion concludes by circling back to the original question and asks: what are the limits and prospects of liberation of the Self?
