The Passion Test
Usually we create a structure in our internal reality and external life by writing things down and talking
to friends we trust. But things happened to me that meant that the accustomed structures did not
work anymore. Something more was needed - I needed a new direction and guidance. I needed to
keep my feet on the ground. In that situation Ingrid's Passion Test was a very timely help. With her
gentle guidance – it’s not a test! – I found a way to keep my feet on the ground and learned to sort
and to allow myself to prioritize – exactly in the way I want it myself and what I believe is good for me.
Now I have learnt to check the compass regularly.

The Test was a turning point away from the negative, so that I am now looking forward in a way I
did not do earlier.

I am so happy that I got the opportunity to take the Test. I was very positive and motivated both
when I took the Test and afterwards. I am more focused now and I live aligned with my passions.

The Passion Test makes you think about how you are living your life. It is important to sit down and
think about what you want. You forget to do that in everyday life. The result may be that you discover
that what you thought were the most important things in your life are not that important. The Test
has inspired me and given me more energy and joy.

I hired Senior Life Joy to take The Passion Test, and I am very satisfied with the result. I have got larger
visions and more motivation, which also makes it more enjoyable to work. It was valuable to find out
what was most important to me.

The Passion Test helped me discover things about myself that I had not realized before, for example
how I set my priorities. That makes it easier to focus on what is important in life.

The method Ingrid Johansson is using reminds me very much of a course that I attended several years
ago to get a richer life. That method also came from the United States. The Passion Test made me
think through what I want to do for the rest of my life and to set goals to strive after. Having clear
goals makes it easier to focus on how to reach them. Now that I no longer have an employer who sets
the goals it is important to me to set my own goals myself - for myself.

We all have passions in our lives and by taking "the Test" you will find out what your most important
passions are. If you think that you already know which they are, you may be wrong! By seeing Ingrid
for a few hours I got clarity on my biggest passions and now I am living them. I think everybody should
do this "investigation" and live life as it is meant to be lived!

The Joy of Life
Got More From This Book Than I Thought I Would.
What a fabulous book. I am in the "older" bracket of life and I think of myself as very positive and am grateful for the life I'm living now. However, I've learned even more things through this book that I know will make my life even better. I want that 100 year old birthday speech to be brilliant! The author writes very well. The book is easy to read and easy to understand. The activities are thought provoking, which adds to the purpose of this book. Whether you think you need this book or not, it's worth getting. It definitely deserves the five stars I've given it.

This is the book you will want to keep close!
This book is a true gem! About 3 pages into the first chapter, I realized I had to go and get paper, pen and a yellow marker - this was going to be a journey! I have not read it all through yet, but I felt I needed to let people know about the wisdom contained in this book so they get started right away, to get their lives in balance, to find the answer to their innermost questions and feelings.
I truly wish I had this book 23 years ago, when my husband died suddenly, I got breast cancer due to the shock and sat there alone with a business that I didn't know what to do with. If this book had been at hand at that time, I know my life would have been different today. Sure, I made it through, but I didn't have time to consider the questions that I should have asked myself then. Now I find them in this book, and realize I have some answering to do. But now I have the time to do the soul searching that is needed. I really want to recommend this treasure chest. Get this outstretched hand now already, BEFORE you NEED it!

The Joy of Life shows that we still have to choose
The world today is in many ways unsafe. We cannot avoid news of climate changes, threatening international conflicts or emerging pandemics. At the same time all these things make us aware of the extraordinariness of our existence. The Joy of Life shows that we still have to choose what we make of our individual lives and how we set our priorities. Problems and failures occur but they can bring us closer to what we are now. Besides, blessing comes to you from situations that first appear to be the opposite. The Joy of life is an active journey that made me aware of the meaning of gratefulness.

Discover Joy in Life
I really enjoyed this book as it totally captivated me from the very beginning to the end. It gives a lot of positive energy and inspiration as well as joy when reading it. It is a well-written book and easy to understand even if English is not your first language and you cannot understand every word. The author shows a fabulous capacity to open our minds and gives us invaluable tips and help to get a more positive view on different things. Generally we do not pause to think about being grateful for what is good in our lives as it is easier to focus on less positive things. This book is an excellent guide to find joy and open our eyes to be more positive and grateful. The Joy of Life has stayed in my mind for a long time - a book that I really recommend you to read.

The Joy of Being Older
A Preparation from age 25 and beyond!
January 4, 2019
Format: Kindle Edition
For Christmas this year I received a book that really made me start spinning! Ingrid Johansson’s book “The Joy of Being Older”! When a book is promising to be good, I am sure to have a yellow marker at hand. By now, this very special book looks like a sun flower. Every marking means that I read it at least 2-3 times to let it sink in deeply before going forward.
I really would like to place this book in the hands of every 25-yearold and above – to help the younger generation appreciate aging parents, the middle age generations to meet the day of retirement more prepared, and the older ones to accept inevitable changes.
And I just cannot stop talking about this amazing book. The author’s elegant way of describing all possible situations that you are sure to meet, whether young or old, makes it a pure joy to read. If you have amounted two thirds of your life you will recognize yourself. Most people are poorly prepared for the day when the door of their work place shuts behind them! This book might just be the guide you need for navigating through the rest of your life.
There is so much more to say about this book, but I rather recommend everybody to get it and read for themselves. For the coming year, I have prepared a list for Santa – a Swedish translation – I really want everybody to be able to share this wisdom.
