A Deeply Connected Circle— Shifting how we show up to our ever-changing world.

ABOUT THE BOOK. American Veda and The Life of Yogananda author Philip Goldberg calls Permission to Glow “…a vital contribution to a new breed of leaders.” Good Life Project founder and bestselling author Jonathan Fields calls it: “…a playful integration of ancient yogic principles and modern wisdom.”

 

With a unique blend of irreverent humor, pop culture references, and spiritual insight, author Kristoffer Carter reveals the 4 Permissions that offer you the fuel to glow, and The 7 Compassionate Laws of Personal Change for activating and living these permissions. 

"Freakin' EPIC! This book teaches many of us how to lead, and all of us how to truly live."

– ANI DIFRANCO, Alternative Folk Icon, Bestselling Author

Like an all-you-can-eat buffet, our world is constantly giving us too much of everything: stimulation, anxiety, information, responsibilities, and  challenges.

Our work is to expand our spiritual capacity to hold more of what life and business constantly throw at us. Our work is to live with purpose, strengthening our relationship with our own power, and unleashing the collective power of others: our colleagues, our staff, our friends, our kids—even the neighbor who wakes us up daily with a leaf blower. Purpose-driven living pulls others up and calls them forward. 

In this transformational guide to conscious leadership, Fortune 100 executive coach, meditation expert, and host of This Epic Life podcast Kristoffer Carter shows you how to transcend the overwhelm and disruption of daily life and step into your power.

Practice-Based.


With guided journal prompts, invocations, daily affirmations, and powerful exercises, you will override the default behaviors that resist change. Stepping into your full potential, you will uncover your purpose, and become a guiding light for others.

 

Whether you lead a team of one (yourself), a family, or a team of thousands, tending to your internal work allows you to step forward, into the light.

 

Your glow attracts allies, investors, and raving fans. Carter coaches us from the safe self-reliance of “I got this” to the unlimited potential of “WE GOT THIS!
