 Take with a grain of salt February 4, 2007

I like both this book and Barbara Sher's book "Wishcraft." Both very practical in ONE sense. But I also think they are written by people who know how to spin and market themselves. Funny how they are always their own first client and then go on to market their success in marketing themselves. Good role models for people in sales. I don't think all the stories in this book are true, I think they are spin. I have followed my north star for many years and my income has remained static for ten years and counting, I have only a tiny savings and retirement, I'm still single and I have had to move and change jobs every 2.5 years on average. There is a reason many people don't follow their star, a lot of these "dream jobs" are darn hard to make a living at, only the most talented and most driven can succeed, often at a great personal cost. Sometimes you can have it all, but most of the time you can't. The north star jobs are also the first to get cut when budget axes fall, which is probably why so many of these folks go on to write books and give seminars. "North star" businesses go belly up all the time. My story doesn't make it into these books, and neither do a lot of working class and lower middle class people's because they don't have the luxury or the resources to "find themselves." They never tell you what their success rate is.
 Good one! February 1, 2007

Feeling stuck or directionless in your life? Tried every other self-help career development book and scored a total blank? I have! Then I picked up North Star and slowly wound my way through the chapters and numerous exercises. Guess what?!!! I actually discovered a whole lot of useful new stuff about myself, and gained a whole new perspective on my life and how to live it to its fullest potential. The book's text was readable and quite enjoyable, and the exercises were really powerful. And fun!
Thanks Martha, for giving us an all-of-heart opportunity to realise our dreams with confidence.
 One of the better self help books January 24, 2007

I read this book a few years ago and have recommended it to several of my friends who are or have been in a similar position as me of wanting more from your life's work. While it may not change your life, there are definitely things I took from it and still remember today, such as your inner self (or social self, whatever you want to call it), will always know when you're headed down a path that is not right for you. If you learn to listen to your body, you will find the path you were meant to be on.

no matter where you are in life, on track or lost, each page offers insight after insight that filled me with a deeper understanding for how life works. Beck's brilliance of mind combines with her compassion for people and wisdom of how everything functions together (your body, your mind, the world), in a way that really just makes good sense. I found myself retelling story after story from this book because I knew it would bring joy and newfound understanding to the people I love. I was consistently awestruck at her talent to articulate and figure out things that I have noticed or experienced in my life. buy this book- NOW!
