How is it that some feel a compulsion to do something grand - to “have an impact” as the modern vocabulary puts it - while some others do not? I get to ask Caroline Myss this question, and her answer is at least thought-provoking if not brilliant. It got me captivated and brought together many pieces of the puzzle that I originally found incompatible. I invite you to listen to this short interaction I had with Caroline and her very particular way of perceiving personal growth.

Caroline is an American mystic and 5-times best-selling author in the esoteric literature. Her book Anatomy of the Spirit, a New-Work Times bestseller, has been published in 28 languages and has sold over 1.5 million copies. Her third book, "Why people don't heal and how they can", became another New York Times bestseller. Her book "Sacred Contracts" – a book on symbols, myths and archetypes - became her third New York Times bestseller. It is published in 18 languages and has sold over 1.6 million copies. Oprah Winfrey gave Caroline her own television program with the OXYGEN network in New York City, which ran successfully for one year. Finally, in 2004 and again in 2007, Caroline followed with two more New York Times bestsellers, "Invisible Acts of Power" and "Entering the Castle".
