Follow Your North Star Audiobook

" Great book! I am not kidding when I say this book really changed my life, as cheesy as that sounds. It goes way deeper than any career book and helps you unpack any baggage you may have that is holding you back. I've already recommended it to three friends and would not hesitate to share it with more. "

" Pretty insightful self-diagnosis book, full of useful if not slightly basic exercises designed to get one thinking about personal hang-ups (for lack of a more precise term). It's all about what's holding you back, or more accurately, why you're holding yourself back. I'd give it 4 stars, but I had a hard time focusing on myself for 400+ pages, so I graded it 3 stars. "

" Lots of good advice about finding the life you should live, and dealing with the transitions of life. "

" The biggest new concept and found in this book was the definition and potential disconnect between your "Essential Self" and your "Social Self". "

" So interested in her techniques and approach that I have moved on to the next book called "Steering by Starlight". Types of books that i will continue to revisit. "

" While the parts on honing your prescience and body awareness weren't my thing, the rest of this book is *so useful* for figuring out what you really, truly want in your life and then going for it. Martha makes me laugh...with her and at myself. Such a great read. "

" This book was amazing. Martha Beck includes a number of thought provoking and soul searching theories and practices. I read this over a course of several months and digested it piece by piece. She writes in a funny and conversational tone which is incredibly enjoyable. I would recommend this book for anyone who is feeling a little lost and is seeking guidance. "

" Re-reading this one to add a little light back into my life after reading Ayn Rand. "

" There is not one person who I know who has read this book and did not make huge discoveries as a result of this book. Martha N. Beck is simply one of the best in her field. A very impressive read! Informative and funny, too! "

" Read this in high school and thought it was awesome. Good to re-read when you're facing big decisions in life. "

" Pretty good. I learned some good tools and methods for understanding myself and finding my path. "

" This book was disappointing. I understand now why it was on the clearance rack. "

" This is one of the best books that I have read recently on the concept of life change. I loved Martha's personal story and insight. If you are considering any life change - this is a great book to help you on the journey! Highly recommended! "

" Love this book! ANything from Martha Beck "

" This was a book we read a few years ago as selected by our administrators' book club. We also read "Good to Great" which was a worthwhile read. "

" I enjoyed this book and there is a lot of useful information. Some of the information did not pertain to my situations, but for the most part the information is very useful. I would recommend this book for anyone who is a little lost and looking for their true path. "

" I'm not a self-help junkie by any stretch, but this is one of the most useful books I've ever read. It's self-help for the thinking woman (it opens with a nod to Dante, after all), and provides some invaluable insight. "

" Wisdom I need to revisit regularly. "

" Martha Beck is both funny and wise. I finally discovered I was not the only one who hated the weight and cheeriness of typical affirmations. I now live by Martha Beck-ish affirmations, especially "I don't know what the hell I'm doing and that's ok." "

" I really enjoy Martha Beck's humor, and her quirky way of looking at everything so that it takes the gloom out of living. This was a lovely read, many good ideas. "

" Rereading this book after reading it the first time in 2009 or so. Find the exercises, Martha's voice and experience stimulating and meaningful. She has a way of taking the reader on a journey that feels both real and from the heart. Her personhood peeks through every sentence! "

" I love this book! It should be required reading for the planet, really. I re-read it, and she always helps me find me way. Thanks Martha! "

" Shamelessly a self-help book, I liked this book quite a bit. For one thing it made me laugh out loud frequently. There's a curious section on psychic intuition but other than that I read it cover to cover. "

" The only self-help book I've ever read that suggests a "Hate Journal". "

" I really liked this book - Filled with practical exercises and real life examples to find out where you want to go. "

" One of the better self-help books I've read. I always enjoy Martha Beck in O Magazine, and was hoping she'd have an excellent book written that I'd enjoy and get a lot out of. Turns out - she does. Good stuff. "

" A lot of repetition. I was bored reading. No real clues here. "

" I enjoyed this book and there is a lot of useful information. Some of the information did not pertain to my situations, but for the most part the information is very useful. I would recommend this book for anyone who is a little lost and looking for their true path. "

" Love this book! ANything from Martha Beck "

" So interested in her techniques and approach that I have moved on to the next book called "Steering by Starlight". Types of books that i will continue to revisit. "

" I started this book because of Jamie's positive review of Beck's most recent book. I like Martha Beck's column in Oprah magazine and I did not know she had published so many books! So far, I love it. Disturbing, wise, thought-provoking. "

" surprisingly great book. I have come to love Martha Beck. She is very down to earth and "gets it". Very real. Very timely for me. "
