Laura Day "The Prism" Book Discussion

About the Book:

Laura Day, the New York Times bestselling author of Practical Intuition, is back with a long-awaited, life-altering book to heal your past, transform your present, and create the future you deserve. A consultant to billion-dollar companies and the brightest lights of Hollywood, Laura Day, in her breakthrough book Practical Intuition, explained how anyone can train themselves to gain full access to the powers of the intuitive brain. However, only Laura’s closest friends knew that behind the book’s phenomenal success was a dark family history. In this, her first book in fifteen years, Day, for the first time, shares her haunting and unforgettable family story. The unique experience that defined her early life afforded Day profound insights into human nature, ultimately leading her to develop a transformative system for personal growth and manifestation.

Now, Day has combined those insights with her intuitive training to create a method of self-discovery and renewal that will change your life. The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future (Spiegel & Grau; April 29, 2025) reveals seven points in our growth as children and adults that can hinder us or help us thrive. By using intuitive methods to examine our roles, beliefs, and realities, we can, step by step, remake our world, improving everything from relationships to wealth, and turning our life’s wrongs into rights.

One of the things I love most about Laura Day’s work is that it’s not about belief or suspending belief; it’s about starting from where you are and just doing the work. She writes:

It doesn’t matter where you are now. High places make for big falls. The muck can yield treasures that, once you emerge from it, will give you a life only you could have and gifts only you can share with others. No muck, no lotus. I am a continual work in progress. My life is amazing and then, sometimes, I am blindsided by a piece of dysfunction that floors me. I use these tools, in this book, every day. Your pathology can become your potential when you are on a healing path.

Day shows us how The Prism can be applied to business, parenting, romantic relationships, and friendships. Day believes every human is born to thrive. The Prism is your guide to that future. Your journey to healing starts here.
