This is the book on books on purpose, mindset, or how to finally live a life that feels aligned and free that you have been searching for.

A Life by Design is a deeply awakening guide for anyone ready to stop drifting through life and start living on purpose. In this powerful blend of science, soul, and self-mastery, Derek McNulty reveals the hidden mechanisms of the mind, including the Reticular Activating System (RAS) — and how this invisible filter quietly shapes everything you see, believe, and experience.

Through thought-provoking stories, ancient wisdom, and practical neuroscience, Derek helps you reconnect to your original design — the life you were meant to live before fear, conditioning, and circumstance rewired your path.

You’ll learn how to:

• See clearly by training your awareness to reveal the opportunities already surrounding you.
• Rewire your words and thoughts to create a new emotional reality that aligns with peace, joy, and abundance.
• Reclaim your energy from patterns of stress, scarcity, and self-sabotage.
• Live in flow with the natural rhythm of life — no more resistance, only conscious creation.
• Redesign your story so your past no longer defines you and your future is shaped by clarity, not chaos.

With chapters exploring Vision, The Word, Good or Bad, Time, Intuition, Forgiveness, and The Vortex Concept, this book bridges psychology, spirituality, and practical transformation into a single clear truth: you are not here to survive by accident — you are here to thrive by design.

Whether you’re drawn to the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Joe Dispenza, Deepak Chopra, or Jay Shetty, this book offers a refreshingly grounded yet spiritually profound path forward. If you’re ready to wake up to your purpose, realign your energy, and live a life of meaning, A Life by Design will show you exactly how.
