About the Book: According to executive coach and meditation expert Kristoffer Carter, our work is to expand our spiritual capacity to hold more of what life and business is constantly throwing at us. In his new book, Permission to Glow: A Spiritual Guide to Epic Leadership, Carter creates awareness of the universal forces that hold us back — and gives us permission “ ... to transcend the crazy train of overwhelm and disruption, by using everything life offers as fuel to glow.” Kristoffer shows us how we’ve become laughably self-reliant, settling for “I got this.”, instead of utilizing the unlimited potential of “We got this.” With plenty of pop culture references and humor, Carter invites us to drop our autopilots, which he playfully calls our frenemies. Rooted in yoga’s ancient science of union with Spirit, Permission to Glow offers paths from panic, to peace, to power.
