On Path, Sherrie Laryse
A fresh take on what it means to be a “spiritual being having a human experience”, this raw and wholly uncommon memoir explores how the crunchy moments of our daily life can be used to inspire the deepest transformation.
Sydney-based yoga practitioner, teacher and emotional intelligence consultant Sherrie Laryse set herself an audacious goal: to quit the lucrative corporate job she disliked, to secure $50,000 for a house deposit and to meet her future husband. She achieved all three within a week.
This paradigm-shattering experience led her on an intense decade-long journey of questioning the limiting beliefs we impose on ourselves, and what happens when we have the courage and curiosity to explore our infinite potential – even when life drops us some curve balls, which it inevitably did!
Weaving together Sherrie's personal reflections, meditations and insights from Eastern wisdom traditions and Western sciences, On Path illuminates the path for modern-day way-seekers in a world bent on rewarding outdated ideals of perfection.
“A meaningful story that will awaken a deeper wisdom for life.”
-Dr John Demartini, International Best-selling author of The Values Factor – The Secret to Creating an Inspired and Fulfilling Life

Sherrie, just as this book was just what you needed, for me, it was also just what I needed. You have no idea.
Such a beautiful reminder of the power of love and acceptance.
Thank you!

I loved this book from start to finish and could see myself in many of the author’s anecdotes. Laryse’s writing style makes the book so relatable and easy to read and I can see it being invaluable to anyone suffering self doubt or depression. A true way forward. A must read.

Having just finished your book Sherrie, I want to Thank you for sharing your journey with me and all who read it. Your experiences are real, comforting and raw. You put into perspective for me that we are all on our own perfectly imperfect Path and that this in itself is something to be excited for. I have found myself already relating your “Wendy” (Lego) theory and techniques to my current work and family life and adapting a new approach in these areas is already becoming rewarding in so many ways. I believe that through your shared experiences and emotional intelligence knowledge, that this book will connect with so many readers on their own individual and unique Path.
Thank you again 🙏

A fresh perspective on thoughtfully thriving throughout life’s twists & turns. Well written, heartfelt and intuitive. A reminder to go deep, feel your feelings, listen (and talk) to your body, mind and spirit.

Once I started reading I found it hard to put down. A very meaningful story with loads of extra gems along the way. So much just fell into place for me that it had me at times wondering if Sherrie was watching my movements through the day. It has changed my perspective on things and definitely for the better. I even find myself not stressing over an outcome now and just thinking Wendy is handling this for me today. This book gets a huge 5 stars from me.

If you are open to experiencing a life of peace and loving acceptance read this stunningly beautiful book. On Path will take you on a journey of truth that is so resonant you will be there in the page, in the words, with the author. Sherrie's imagination is vivid and she possesses an uncanny ability to creatively weave her world effortlessly with that of science, philosophy, psychology, spirituality and so much more. It is a peering behind the curtain into the complex, yet simple meaning of life - and showing that ultimately, whatever turbulence or grace we encounter, we are each of us always On Path.

Talking about putting things in perspective, this book offers both a wider perspective to life as a whole and addresses the raw genuine human experiences that can sometimes be rough. In the times of spiritual bypassing this book is a refreshing take on how to see, perceive and overcome challenges. A wholehearted love letter to human capacity to embrace life. Can highly recommend!

Thank you for such a raw and honest book. A beautiful source for all with the tools to assist anyone to experience embodied awareness and just how we can benefit from sitting in it, in amongst all our stuff. Being in the present moment of experiencing thoughts, feeling sensations and the emotions that arise from within our bodies.
Showing how when we find that deep state of being fully present gives us the opportunity to heal our thoughts, emotions, and physical selves. A love story about life, full of useful, kind, honest words. I will always treasure this book.

So grateful for you being so raw and exposed as you weave the reality of your journey through each page. I could not stop reading till I finished, so many insightful nuggets of inspiration. Effectiveness is the measure of truth, you have acted on and practiced the principles you have learnt along your path and now have shared with many more readers.
