Psychologists, book critics, drama professionals, and students laud Rubin for her dynamic and creative visioning methods which allow us to perceive our lives as a grand and ever-changing play.  “Peggy Rubin is a master of theater and the art of becoming. Her book-- a masterpiece in every way-- will hold you spellbound as you discover the drama of your soul and the purpose of your life,” writes Joan Borysenko, PhD, author of Your Soul’s Compass and A Woman’s Journey to God.

To Be And How To Be is considered an excellent primer for professionals who work with wellness and transformation, readers focused on self-growth, and anyone interested in the power of story, especially their own story.  Exercises such as Explore Who You Really Are and meditations from Buddhist greats like Thich Nhat Hanh enable readers to view their lives with greater clarity and to become champions of their own destiny.
