“Soulshaping” is the inspiring memoir of an archetypal “male warrior”-a trial lawyer-who struggled to find his heart and a more authentic, soulful path. Rivetingly personal and profoundly universal, this book is for anyone who has heard a whisper of something truer calling out to them amid the distractions of modern life.
Jeff Brown’s dramatic and often funny story takes readers through remarkably human experiences-emotional, physical, and economic-as he vividly recounts his troubled childhood, his success in apprenticing with Canada’s top criminal lawyer, and his ultimate decision to leave the law and begin an inner journey to discover his soul’s purpose.
A work of courageous self-creation, “Soulshaping” reminds us that we are all truly connected, that our seemingly isolated struggles are actually part of the shared human challenge to live a life that is heart-centered and soul-driven. Both down-to-earth and magically mystical, “Soulshaping” will meet you where you live-and where you long to live.

I read all of Soulshaping while flying to yet another spiritual retreat. I was looking everywhere for the answers I needed to move forward in my life. By the time I arrived in England, I had recognized something that I had easily misplaced in all my journeys- the journey lay within. I had read this in countless self-help books and heard it from my spiritual teachers, but I had never FELT it until I read Soulshaping.
By taking me into and through his journey, Jeff Brown invited me inside of my own journey. By inviting me into what he calls “The School of Heart Knocks”, I remembered my heart. I had been trying to find spiritual answers by detaching from my emotional pain. He let me know that it is okay, and even essential, to find my answers in the heart of my feelings and my personal relationships. Everything I was trying so fervently to detach from was the key to my transformation- the “grist for the soul mill” as he says. The key was that I saw myself in his journey. Everyone will see some of themselves in his journey.
There is something about the very connective way he writes that makes you feel like he is in the room with you, sharing and self-revealing. All your shame and fear of the path falls away. I have been using terms from the brilliant Soulshaping Dictionary at the back of his book in my daily life (Who doesn’t want to “Ascend with both feet on the Ground?”), and I go back to his journey whenever I feel disconnected from my path. What Criminal law lost when Jeff walked away, humanity has gained. If you read any book on your spiritual and healing journey, make it this one. It is grass roots and human and genuine. Very rare in this hyped up world.
