Synopsis
What if the peace, meaning and fulfilment you are searching for are already present within you?
Throughout our lives, we search for answers, happiness and a deeper sense of connection. Yet what if the source of true transformation lies not in changing the world around us, but in discovering what has always been present within?
*Living from the Divine Spark* invites you on a journey of inner discovery, exploring the silent spiritual principle at the heart of human existence.
Through contemplative reflections and practical exercises, you will discover how meditation, self-awareness and inner stillness can help you recognise the Divine Spark and allow its influence to unfold naturally in everyday life.
This book is not about adopting beliefs, escaping reality or becoming someone else. It is about recognising your true nature, moving beyond the limitations of personal identity and discovering a deeper connection with yourself, others and life itself.
You do not have to become someone different. You are invited to discover what you already are.
About Michiel Arens
Michiel A.M. Arens is an author, leadership thinker, and founder of the Work Smart, Be Happy philosophy — a framework for sustainable leadership grounded in inner balance.
With decades of entrepreneurial and leadership experience, Michiel explores the intersection between performance, identity, and inner alignment. His work challenges the traditional belief that success must come at the cost of well-being. Instead, he argues that clarity, effectiveness, and fulfilment arise when thinking, feeling, doing, and will are brought into balance.
His books include:
- Work Smart, Be Happy; The Foundation
- The Divine Spark
- Your True Identity
The Dutch editions Je Ware Identiteit and De Godsvonk
Across his writing and advisory work, Michiel addresses CEOs, Project Managers, and leaders who carry significant responsibility — yet seek a way to lead without inner friction.
His philosophy centres on a fundamental shift from Having–Doing–Being to Being–Doing–Having, redefining success as a natural consequence of inner alignment rather than relentless effort.
Michiel writes from lived experience. His work is shaped not only by theory, but by personal transformation, entrepreneurial challenge, and decades of observing leadership under pressure.
He lives and works in the Netherlands.
=========================================
Michiel A.M. Arens is auteur, leiderschapsdenker en grondlegger van de Work Smart, Be Happy-filosofie — een benadering van duurzaam leiderschap gebaseerd op innerlijke balans.
Met decennialange ervaring als ondernemer en leider onderzoekt Michiel de relatie tussen prestatie, identiteit en innerlijke afstemming. Zijn werk doorbreekt het traditionele idee dat succes ten koste moet gaan van welzijn. Volgens hem ontstaan helderheid, effectiviteit en vervulling wanneer denken, voelen, doen en wil met elkaar in balans zijn.
Zijn boeken zijn onder andere:
- Work Smart, Be Happy; The Foundation
- The Divine Spark
- Your True Identity
De Nederlandstalige edities Je Ware Identiteit en De Godsvonk
In zijn boeken en begeleiding richt Michiel zich op CEO’s, projectmanagers en leiders die grote verantwoordelijkheid dragen — en die willen leiden zonder innerlijke strijd.
Zijn filosofie draait om een fundamentele verschuiving van Hebben–Doen–Zijn naar Zijn–Doen–Hebben, waarbij succes niet langer een voorwaarde is om je goed te voelen, maar een gevolg van innerlijke afstemming.
Michiel schrijft vanuit geleefde ervaring. Zijn inzichten zijn niet alleen theoretisch, maar geworteld in persoonlijke transformatie, ondernemerschap en jarenlange observatie van leiderschap onder druk.
Hij woont en werkt in Nederland.
