Publisher Description
Discover—or rediscover—your passion for life.
What inspires passion in your life and what defeats it? How do you lose it and how do you get it back? In this exuberant and compelling book, Gregg Levoy, bestselling author of Callings, explores how you can cultivate not just a specific passion, but passion as a mindset that helps bring vitality to all your engagements, from work and relationships to creativity and spiritual life.
Vital Signs examines the endless tug-of-war between passion and security, the wild and the tame, our natural selves and our conditioned selves, and shows us how to stay engaged with the world and resist the downward-pulling forces that can drain our vitality. Vital Signs also encourages courageous inquiry into our dispassion—where we’re numb, depressed, stuck, and bored in our lives—so that we can rework these tendencies in ourselves and claim our rightful inheritance of vitality.

“Our society seems increasingly obsessed with security and playing it safe in every area of life. But along with this trend often comes a deadening and listlessness in living…Vital Signs is a marvelous corrective to this trend. If you could use more passion, wonder, awe, and the sheer juice of being alive, this is your book.”
— Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind
