5 out of 5 stars A bit of egg on my face!   February 13, 2008

Turns out I was actually living a life better than the one I was meant to live. Oh well.

I loved this book. It has been a blessing and helped me overcome my own inner struggles. Having lived a mentally tormenting life, it is not easy to overcome lifelong disapprovals of others. Martha has written a wonderfully insightful and helpful book. I totally agree that we have to follow our feelings, our gut feeling. Our inner selves always seem to know the answer. Don't miss this book. Highly recommended.

I am the author of:

One Boy's Struggle: A Memoir: Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADD



5 out of 5 stars Find your own path and your own star   January 31, 2008

This is an excellent book for finding your own path and star. Beck uses just the right balance of anecdotes, theory, and exercise to show readers how to find their own north stars and get in touch with their essential selves, while still being mindful of the social selves.

The challenging part is doing the exercises and really applying what you learn to yourself, but it will be well worth the effort in the end, because it will help you grow.

I enjoyed this book immensely. It is well written and extremely practical. Many of the exercises were enlightening and to the point. I have read many self-help and related books and this one is at the top of the class. It is down to earth, practical and fun to read. I finally found a book that gets down and dirty and yet doesn't leave you hanging on what to expect next. This book could have been titled "The Secret" as far as I am concerned.

I can't say enough about this book. I am one of those fools who reads way too many self-help / pseudo-psychology books. The are like magnets for me. ALmost always I am disappointed. I say to myself..."they wrote a whole book about this??? It could have been stated in one paragraph." Not so with Finding Your Own North Star. This book is incredible. It not only inspires and gives hope and beautiful sparks for one's intuition -- more importantly, the author offers clear, concrete advice for taking this inspiration and really, truly finding one's destiny. It's incredible. She deserves some sort of award, or to be independently wealthy for life or something. The book is life changing. I say this as someone who has read them all...for many, many years. This one is THE ONE. Also, just to make it all fun and entertaining, this author is incredibly witty and crazy. One warning: Don't expect to breeze through it. I'm a speed reader and it took me 8 hours to read these 365 pages, and there are some things I still have to do. I hope everyone who reads this finds their North Star.
