Who hasn't asked the question "How can I find and follow my true calling?" Elle Luna frames this moment as "standing at the crossroads of Should and Must." "Should" is what we feel we ought to be doing, or what is expected of us. "Must" is the thing we dream of doing, our heart's desire. And it was her own personal journey that inspired Elle Luna to write a brief online manifesto that, in a few short months, has touched hundreds of thousands of people who've read it or heard Elle speak on the topic. Now Ms. Luna expands her ideas into an inspirational, highly visual gift book for every recent graduate, every artist, every seeker, every career changer. The Crossroads of Should and Must has a universal message--we get to choose the path between Should and Must. And it gives every reader permission to embrace this message. It's about the difference between jobs, careers, and callings. The difference between going to work and becoming one with your work. Why knowing what you want is often the hardest part. It gives eye-opening techniques for reconnecting with one's inner voice, like writing your own obituary (talk about putting life in perspective). It talks about the most common fears of choosing Must over Should--money, time, space, and the ultimate fear: total vulnerability--and shores up our hesitation with inspiring stories of and quotes from the artists and writers and thinkers who've faced their own crossroads of Should and Must and taken the leap. It explains the importance of mistakes, of "unlearning," of solitude, of keeping moving, of following a soul path. Presented in four chapters--The Crossroads, The Origin of Should, Must, and The Return--inspired by the hero's journey outlined by Joseph Campbell, The Crossroads of Should and Must guides us from the small moment, discovering our Must, to the big moment--actually doing something about it, and returning to share our new gifts with the world.

Heard about Elle Luna through Chase Jarvis's 30 Days of Genius video series. Her personality was captivating, so I wanted to check out her book.

The book is an art piece. A very useful one at that, as it got me thinking about a lot of things in my life -- from my fantasies to my jobs/careers/callings. I think going through these exercises are so helpful to understanding who you are.

That's one of life's joys, right? Discovering who you are and what you're capable of.

Though I felt it was overly spiritual at times, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I think this book applies to creatives and pretty much anyone whether you consider yourself an artist or not. Give it a read! Maybe Elle will help you find your Must.

Quick insightful read on how to dream big and yet do something today that can get you one step closer to your dream!

Absolutely amazing read - I first saw Elle Luna's work in a talk online and then as a 100 Day Challenge on The Great Discontent website. Not only it is beautifully written, Elle fills the pages with her beautiful artwork and inspiring quotes that resonated with me as I found myself at the crossroads of should and must this past year. The questions she poses to the reader are perfect, deep, and soul-searching!

Amazing book! It's beautifully written and beautiful to look at; I love the art and photos inside. It's like a warm hug: this book challenges me to think and also reminds me that everything is going to be okay. It's about finding your must in a world of shoulds and even gives your practical exercises on how to get there. I even love the author's story on how this book came to be! This is great for anyone at a crossroads, for a graduation gift, if you're looking for some inspiration, or just need a good pick-me-up or refresher in life. This would make an excellent gift and is definitely a book I'll be passing around for the family to read. I love it- love, love, love.
