  1. Stephen Cope _ The Great Work of Your Life: A

    Unification is the very soul of dharma. We see it in every life we've studied during this entire project. Thoreau streamlined his life in order to free his inner mystic. Frost became a farmer who farmed poetry. Goodall organized her life around her chimps. The degree of unification that you accomplish is the degree to which you're doing your dharma. "How we spend our days," says author Annie Dillard, "is, of course, how we spend our lives." Once the mature Susan B. Anthony had fully organized her life around her dharma, she declared, as I have said, "Failure is impossible." She had grasped the central principle: As long as you are living your dharma fully-unified!-you cannot fail. Indeed, you have already succeeded."
