A Map to the Four Cornerstones of a Fulfilling Life

Award-winning designer and author Lori Dennis shares her secrets to balancing the four most important areas of our lives: relationships, finances, wellness, and spirituality. Learning to make these quadrants cooperate in harmony yields real results, including meaningful work, a successful love life, decreased anxiety, better sleep, positive interactions with others, and a general sense of happiness and serenity.

From the decision to be happy to grounding reality checks and realistic goal setting, Dennis walks readers through the process of assessing and aligning our aspirations and daily habits to create a productive, satisfying life. She challenges readers: “If you’re not happy, it’s time to ask yourself why and address the parts of your life that need work. What’s been getting in the way of your happiness until now? What part of your life is being neglected or missing altogether?” In this accessible guide, Dennis focuses her philosophy on the following areas:

• Part One: Relationships examines how we interact with everyone in our lives (romantic partners, family members, friends, coworkers, and new acquaintances), how to recognize unhealthy patterns, and how to create the kinds of connections that enrich and positively challenge us.
• Part Two: Finances discusses wealth goals, career choices, consumerism, money management, and tips for controlling debt.
• Part Three: Wellness elaborates on how stress, diet, and exercise all play a role in the general health of our physical, mental, and spiritual being.
• Part Four: Spirituality identifies the benefits of striving for a sense of awareness, possibility, love, and gratitude.
