IT’S HERE!!!!
TEN WORDS: AN INTERSPIRITUAL GUIDE TO BECOMING BETTER PEOPLE IN A BETTER WORLD is now available for purchase in both ebook and paperback on Amazon and other booksellers like Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, etc. (your local independent bookstore may have to wait a few weeks to order it, but it will be there!)
I have to admit, it feels a little like sending your baby off to college (or even the first day of Kindergarten!). You’ve done the best you could to give your kid all the tools they will need in the world. You anxiously drop them off and give them a nervous, but excited kiss goodbye, hoping they will find success….and pray they don’t come running home in tears.
I am excitedly and nervously sending my baby book out into the world today. From this day forward, I pray that in TEN WORDS, I have given you the best tools I can for a spiritually-centered life, rooted and relevant to the changing world we live in. I pray that this humble little book will find success in the world, reaching those for whom its words are balm to the soul, guidance on the path. And lastly, I pray that it might lead us, in whatever small way it can, to becoming better people in a better world for all.
Inshallah. Amen. Amein. Ashé. Aho. May it be so.
I hope you will consider purchasing a book for your own journey (or for a friend), and, if you do, please consider leaving a review on Amazon or elsewhere. If you know someone who might enjoy the book or want to spread the word, feel free to pass it on. The more companions we have on our journey toward becoming better people in a better world, the better!
In the meantime, I’d like to share a few more editorial reviews that have recently come in that make me feel like there are a few folks watching out for my baby in the world. I am so very grateful:

“Lauryn Axelrod’s book, Ten Words: An Interspiritual Guide to Becoming Better People in a Better World is a map. The clues in this map are these ten words. These words give us the keys that will eventually bring us to the hidden treasure of the higher Self.

Rachel Hollander, author of From There to Here: An Insider’s Guide to Navigating the Darkness
Beginning next week, I will be posting links to podcast interviews as they are scheduled so you can catch them, and will start a new Substack series of short pieces or stories that speak in some way to each of the ten words so you can explore more deeply. You can expect those on Sundays.
And, there’s still time if you would like to join the 10-week Zoom exploration of TEN WORDS starting on October 9. Simply become a Pay-It-Forward Subscriber today (for 20% off right now!) and let’s work together as we become better people in a better world!
I sincerely thank you for being on this journey with me and I look forward to continuing together!
