Edwina Findley is so passionate about helping others live their best life, she wrote a whole book about it!

The actress — who is currently starring in Netflix's hit series The Residence — is releasing her first book, The World Is Waiting for You, from Harper Collins on Sept. 9. With a foreword written by Academy Award winner Viola Davis, the book is described as "a faith-full and laugh out-loud guide to manifesting your 'God Dream' and creating the life you’ve always wanted."

Within the book's pages, Findley, 44, shares the "spiritual and practical" wisdom she has learned from her time in Hollywood, as well as from her role as co-founder of the nonprofit organization AbundantLifeU with her husband Kelvin Dickerson.

"The World Is Waiting for You is my love letter to dreamers," Findley tells PEOPLE in a statement. "It's a clarion call for anyone who feels a stirring in your spirit, a calling in your soul, a deep tug in your heart telling you there's more vision to manifest, more dreams to fulfill and more ways to show up in the world than you ever have before."

The Veep actress calls her book "a full-circle manifestation moment for me" and a tangible representation of her "saying yes to my own calling."

She continues, "For years, my Abundant Life team and I have led empowerment workshops around the nation, and I discovered something profound: whether I was motivating a ballroom full of millionaires or a recreation center filled with foster youth, everyone shared the same intrinsic need to feel seen, to feel loved and to feel guided by a deeper sense of purpose and direction."

"When readers turn the pages of this book, my desire is for them to receive a profound revelation of their infinite worth and value, and to be inspired and encouraged to step into their power, shine their light, and soar into the infinite possibilities awaiting them," Findley shares.

The author promises her book "is filled with miraculous stories, strategic roadmaps and spiritual and practical wisdom I've received from such global icons as Viola Davis, Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry — generous souls who have poured into me what I now hope to pour into the lives and hearts of others."

She concludes, "As Oprah says, 'God can dream a bigger dream for you than you can dream for yourself,' and I know those words to be true! There is a divine story that's been written over all of our lives, and it’s time to discover exactly what it is. Whether you are just beginning your course in life or preparing for your 'second act,' the world is waiting for you to uncover and fulfill your 'God Dream,' the realm in which possibilities are truly endless."
