Dare to Wear Your Soul on the Outside: Live Your Legacy Now

by Gloria Burgess

In this inspirational book, Gloria Burgess uses the touching story of her father's relationship with William Faulkner as a starting point to explore a classic how to bring forth the character qualities of love, wisdom, trust, faith, gratitude, creative action, vision, and integrity. Burgess declares the sacred promises of legacy living as part of a transformational process that helps us connect to our past by honoring those who came before us, living with intention in the present, and freeing our talents so we can realize our potential. Dare to Ware Your Soul on the Outside also includes practical exercises for fostering greater authenticity and purpose in our lives.

About the author

In her work and by her presence, Gloria embodies the perennial wisdom that the world was not given to us by our parents, it was lent to us by our children. Gloria gives practical advice on how to transform your life so that you can enjoy strong, healthy relationships.

Gloria's passion is developing tomorrow's leaders today. Using vivid examples from her own life--overcoming extreme poverty, racism, and sexism--she shows us that your personal history is not a predictor of your destiny.

What I enjoyed most about this book is how authentically the author wove in personal stories with exercises and advice for the reader to ponder and incorporate in their own life.

Gloria is an amazing person and writes of inspiration, motivation, enlightenment and strength. I have had the fortune of meeting her several years ago because of her connection with IAAP and able to receive a copy of her book autographed. We are pleased that Mount Rainier Chapter, IAAP will have her as one of our seminar speakers March 29, 2014 in Renton where more will be able to hear her, experience her wisdom, inspiration, and motivation plus get a chance to purchase several of her books. I recommend this particular book very highly.

I love Gloria Burgess as a speaker, and I love her as an author. The entire concept of taking the dare to wear our souls on the outside in a world that encourages us to live for self is amazing. I love how she teaches on living intentionally and building a legacy worth remembering. This is a book I reference back to and you don't have to necessarily start from page one (though I'd recommend doing so). Looking forward to reading the rest of her books.
