If you like Mary South's The Cure for Anything Is Salt Water, you should check out Karen Mehringer's Sail into Your Dreams. Like Mary, Karen and her husband left their steady but unfulfilling jobs to go on a six month sailing adventure from Australia to Indonesia. In the process Karen learned to determine what she really wanted out of her life and how to make it happen. She offers readers an eight step guide to living a more purposeful life.

Karen is also the founder of a holistic healing business, Creative Transformations, (www.liveapurposefullife.com) and has a master's degree in marriage and family therapy with special training in energy transformation and over ten years of personal development experience.
