Stepping Stones: 10 Steps to Seizing Passion and Purpose
by Tim Sams, Ph.D.

Finding happiness, harmony, and meaning of life discovered through self love, love relationships, and spiritual love is at the core of Stepping Stones. From selfish hedonism to forgiveness, Stepping Stones guides your life change.

In Stepping Stones: 10 Steps to Seizing Passion and Purpose, Dr. Tim Sams combines vivid imagery with humor and down to earth advice in giving you principles that lead to living effectively and joyously. This is a truly integrative, self help book that helps you establish a new life paradigm for mental, emotional, physical, moral, and spiritual health. Unlike other self help books, it begins with a poem and ends with a fictional tale that weaves a cloak as Dr. Tim’s gift to the traveler in you.

Self love is described in the first four steps in Stepping Stones.  You learn how to give yourself permission to blend hedonism and sensuality into a busy day. You can encourage happiness, passion and purpose by being maturely selfish and meeting your own needs. Self reliance is demonstrated by infusing some discipline into hedonism and developing a life long Mastery Map that directs your efforts and achieves all your goals.

The next step toward self love teaches you how to proactively create healthy and supportive life change rather than reactively coping with life change. You can promote emotional healing, take risks, and revel in life change instead of fearing it. The fourth step to self love is physical health, the engine of happiness, passion and purpose. You discover how to overcome the obstacles to health and the three “secret” barriers to the hedonism in exercise. Self love and happiness are realized through being selfish, self reliant, committed to life change, and physically healthy. Effective self love is the soil from which grows healthy love relationships.

Harmony with others and love relationships are attained through the challenges of the next three steps in Stepping Stones. Romantic love begins the transition from selfish self-interest to social interest. It proceeds from selfish infatuation to mature relationship love and can be strengthened by you through strategies including active listening, the three 'R's' of communication, win-win conflict resolution, and creating realistic expectations.

Relationship love continues with the various forms of parental love successfully maintained through techniques for mutual respect, effective boundaries, mastery modeling, and family focus. Communal love extends relationship love from romantic and parental love to harmony with the interconnection among all people; appreciation that we are all one tribe.

Transcendent and spiritual love melds us to the mystery of the universe and beyond. Harmony with nature is the next step on your transcendent journey that you learn to engage fully through the STAR and STIM techniques. Spiritual love is practiced through the four paths to the meaning of life that can integrate passion and purpose into a singular nexus moment; the nexus being the most powerful human experience.

"I’ve been trying to stick to an exercise program for years and keep dropping out. It felt like your solutions for the three barriers to exercising was written for me. I’ve been walking and using resistance bands for 6 months now and I think I can stick to it." (Jean L) 

You learn how to develop a nexus and encourage the clarity and awe of a nexus moment. You come to understand that hedonism and being selfish are pieces in the puzzle of spiritual love. Finally, the apex of spiritual love is forgiveness. As the pace of modern society accelerates, forgiveness plays a critical role in coping and stress reduction. You learn the apex strategy for forgiveness, including Accepting, Permitting, Empathizing, and eXploring (APEX). Transcendent love breathes the meaning of life into love of nature, spiritual love, and forgiveness.

"I am a Muslim and very comfortable with my faith. I’m not sure I agree with everything you said, but you reminded me that what I do with my faith and how I treat others is the true test of my beliefs. Like you said 'Nice only matters if it’s acted upon.'"

Stepping Stones: 10 Steps to Seizing Passion and Purpose culminates three decades of education and research by Dr. Tim Sams in the fields of psychology, anthropology, biology, history, religion, and peak performance. Dr. Tim has refined these steps through 21 years experience as a life coach and health psychologist with over 10,000 clients. Happiness, harmony, passion, and a quiet understanding of your unique meaning of life can be yours. A healthy *you* balances selfish hedonism with relationship love, spiritual love, and forgiveness. No self help book can guarantee health in all areas, but Stepping Stones is an honest map for your journey.

"I am so tired of the 'feel good' approach to self help books these days. Your emphasis on personal responsibility and rejection of blame was a breath of fresh air. I use my Mastery Map every day. Thanx again." (Aaron D) 

"I didn’t even know what I was looking for when I was browsing the self help book section at Barnes and Noble. Stepping Stones caught my eye. The story of Eve and her nexus moment at the end of the book brought tears to my eyes. I’m committed to living each day to the fullest now." (Susan M)


"I grew up in a fairly religious household where selfishness was a dirty word and God, Christ, husband, and children were supposed to come before me. Thank you Dr. Tim for reminding me that I need to come first a lot of the time. I still care for my family, but I am much happier now that I am committed to my own happiness." (Grace W
"A very insightful and funny book. I didn’t get the crack about 'more bathroom time' until the next page. I put your brilliant description of the 'exerciser in you' above my treadmill."
"I’ve read a lot of relationship self help books. I’ve never read a self help book that combined relational love into a global plan for living. I had my husband read the chapter on romantic love. He stopped hanging out with his “just friends” ex-girlfriend and our marriage is better for it." (Grateful in Birmingham)
"I always thought that forgiveness was something that religious zealots did. I never thought of it as a stress reduction technique. I’ve been practicing APEX forgiveness and my family says I seem less frustrated and angry." (Bonnie C)
"I have always believed that living with integrity, according to my beliefs is a big part of what makes life worth living. It’s nice to see that someone agrees with me. By the way, having fought in the Korean War, I liked the comment, 'True bravery is integrity put into action.'
(Jack H)
