FINDING THE SHELF WITHIN Jane Smith Finding the Shelf Within is the astonishing personal story of Jane Smith – an ordinarywoman - and her rise to become one of the most loved and inspired leaders of the global New Age. It is a story of love both lost and found, of dizzying fame and celebrity, and of deep humility acquired. Above all, it is about the meaning of life, as it is lived by people like you, in compact, twenty-first century urban spaces. Finding the Shelf Within is an amusing graphic-novel, which satirizes the cultish following of the New Age. Whilst it is a work of fiction, it purports to be non-fiction – the story of the rise to global celebrity guru status of a former office worker and wallflower, named Jane Smith. A story of the everywoman, Jane Smith surpasses her own boundaries and with intense self and continental exploration, become a revered leader, living the dream that most modern women, undoubtedly aspire towards.
