Great Callings - book by Brianna Wiest

Great Callings by bestselling author Brianna Wiest is a powerful guide for anyone seeking to live a more intentional and creatively aligned life. In her signature blend of poetic clarity and practical wisdom, Wiest explores the internal barriers that keep us from pursuing meaningful work—fear, distraction, resistance, self-doubt, and the belief that suffering is required for success. Rather than treating these challenges as roadblocks, she reframes them as invitations to strengthen resilience, deepen emotional intelligence, and reconnect with one’s authentic purpose.

Drawing inspiration from some of history’s most influential artists and thinkers, Great Callings encourages readers to honor their creative instincts, trust their inner voice, and align their daily choices with their deepest values. This book serves as a compassionate reminder that you don’t need permission to begin; you only need willingness. Thoughtful, grounding, and deeply motivating, Wiest’s work empowers readers to stop waiting, start creating, and fully embrace the life they feel called to live.
