Author Dennis Merritt Jones on Shift-to-Meaning Radio

Throughout his lifetime, Dennis Merritt Jones has been on a quest to inspire and lift people to a higher expression of life. His personal vision is to guide people to their purpose, knowing that when a person is fully awakened to who they authentically are and why they are on the planet, they begin to naturally share their gift with humankind and, in the process, create an enriching life for themselves and the world around them. Dennis believes each one of us has the capacity and, ultimately, the responsibility to contribute something positive to this world, leaving it a better place than it was when we arrived. His teachings promote a contemporary, life-affirming, spiritually logical and positive outlook on life, which are reflected in his writings. He says, "A positive thinker grounded in his or her spirituality is the most powerful person on the face of the planet." Dennis founded the OneSpirit Center for Spiritual Living in Simi Valley, CA, in 1985 and retired from that pulpit ministry in 2008 with a desire to take his passion for writing and teaching to the world. Dennis is the author of The Art of Being ~ 101 Ways To Practice Purpose In Your Life, released in April 2008 by Tarcher/Penguin Publishing. A discussion of Dennis’ content rich book will be the focus of the radio show today. We live lives dictated by our to-do lists and most of us long to find a way to be in the present moment and still meet the practical needs of our daily experience. This book provides the guidance and the very doable “mindfulness practice” action steps that you can apply directly to your life in order to experience ease and grace and balance in all things.
