CURRENT BOOKS
Across three very different books, Ronda LaRue explores the art of becoming more fully present to one's own life—from the inward awakening and creative inquiry of SoulArts to the unexpected revelations that can occur when curiosity, humor and honest human connection are given room to play.
Written across different periods of her life and work, the books share one essential invitation: to move beyond simply thinking about life and enter into a more direct, creative relationship with it.
THE ART OF LIVING (is) YOUR DESTINY
A Guidebook for Awakening and Living from Soul
Revised 2026 Legacy Edition
Paperback
Kindle
The Art of Living (is) Your Destiny is not simply a book about finding direction. It is a guided practice in learning how to listen inwardly and engage creatively with the life you are already living.
Each chapter opens into a “Following the Thread” inquiry that asks the reader to carry a real question beyond the page—into ordinary days, relationships, resistance, longings, choices, dreams, body sensations, unexpected attractions, symbols and the things that keep asking for attention.
The exercises are deliberately active and imaginative. Readers may journal, move, draw, create or find symbolic objects, speak aloud, dialogue with an image, follow a question for days or weeks, and make tangible “honoring acts” in response to what begins to emerge. The aim is not to arrive quickly at an answer, but to become more sensitive to the quieter inner knowing that can appear when we remain curious, attentive and willing to engage what life is actually showing us.
The Legacy Edition 2026 deepens this experiential dimension with the inquiry process woven throughout, along with stories and reflections from people who have lived the work directly. The result is part guidebook, part workbook and part living companion—a way of practicing the art of moving with life through creative inner listening, symbolic engagement and conscious participation rather than standing outside one's life trying to think the way forward.

The Second Miracle
...For me, Ronda LaRue is on par with author Eckhart Tolle.
Both are incredible spiritual teachers for our time.
By the way, the whole book is wonderful, but chapter 9 is really the crown jewel.
I highlighted almost half of it."

"U-Who!"
A Playful Hosting Plot for More Spirited Gatherings
Revised 2026 Edition
Paperback
Part dinner-party game, part hostess initiation, and part gleefully unruly SoulArts romp, U-Who! begins working its mischief long before anyone picks up a pen. Ronda takes the hostess aside first—coaxing her out of perfection, ordinary party choreography and the fear that everyone will think she has finally gone too far—and into the far more interesting role of Creative Catalyst.
The game itself is disarmingly simple: choose a prompt, write furiously for five minutes without editing or overthinking, then gather round and share what came out. But the book surrounding it is another creature entirely—a comic monologue, psychological field guide, hosting playbook and occasional wrestling match with a keyboard that seems determined to write portions of the book itself. It wanders, interrupts, teases, reflects, goes rogue and occasionally lands somewhere unexpectedly tender.
It is written as a host gift for inspiring pre-party humor, daring, psychological intrigue ...and perhaps a bit of self-reflection along the way.
Beneath all that mischief is something Ronda takes quite seriously: the rare magic that occurs when people feel safe (or enticed) to become a little more spontaneous, vulnerable, ridiculous, honest and real with one another. U-Who! is irreverently reverent about that possibility—and about the laughter, surprise and genuine connection that can happen around an ordinary table when someone is willing to create the space for it.
