The Prism

This is the first Note I’ve created on one of Laura Day’s books, although it’s one of three of hers I’ve now read. To be very direct, I tend to have an allergy to “psychics.” Then Alexandra told me I would really love Laura’s take on the ego and that I should read this one. I follow orders from my Boss, so I grabbed the book, flipped straight to the chapter on “Ego,” and was instantly hooked. Laura argues that the ego is not the enemy, a fragile ego is. A healthy, integrated ego is the structure that allows us to channel energy, heal our past, and consciously create our future. In The Prism, she walks us through seven Ego Centers, often described as chakras, and shows how strengthening them builds the strength, flexibility, and resilience required to manifest what we truly want. It’s spiritual, yes, but deeply practical and shockingly grounded. If you’ve ever wrestled with the role of ego in growth, purpose, and transformation, this book will challenge and empower you. Big Ideas we explore include Be the Hero of Your Own Story, The Ego Is Not the Enemy, The Seven Ego Centers, The Chakras in Practice, and A Little-Known Law, You Can’t Cheat.
