Grace Johnston is a writer and spiritual carer who has spent her life working, one way or another, with people going through major, often paradigm-shifting change. Her fascination with people and their stories was apparent in her first real job in her early 20s - as a journalist specialising in so-called 'human interest' stories. This interest took her, in the ensuing years, on a broad exploration which included psychology, change management and the nature of work, the ancient wisdom teachings and much more.Now in her mid-70s, Grace's work life has included television and print-journalism, change management roles, counselling and the training and job placement of mature-aged unemployed people.In her later 60s, she was accepted as a pastoral/spiritual care intern at Australia's foremost cancer hospital and now offers a Dignity Therapy Life Reflection service to the hospital, predominantly for people in the latter stages of life.Grace's first book, Aligning Your Work & Purpose, was published in 2000, and she has since written several others including the What's Good For You companion series to the television show of the same name, and books on job search in a changing work world. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, and enjoys watching four grandchildren 'unfold' as they move through the various stages of childhood.
