| Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What! by Rodale Books Very Disappointing...Not Deep Enough | | This book has a little bit of everything but it doesn't go into depth about anything...it feels like this author just coined together whatever she's been reading and gave those methods/theories new names...there's NOTHING new in this book. | | Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What! by Rodale Books Transformational Journey | *****
This latest book from Martha Beck was more of a journey for me than just a book to read. The author advises you in the very beginning that for you to really have this book change your life, you have to do the exercises. So I did, and I was glad. They really helped me to be able to apply the concepts and ideas in a way that benefited me personally and not just theoretically.
The purpose of the book is to change your life so that you get your "right life", not by thinking or feeling your way TO it, but by "dissolving" the thoughts and feelings that are OBSTACLES to it. The difference may seem just semantic, but it isn't---it's profound! I was a life coach for several years in the past, and I can say that Martha Beck's concepts here are right on, effective, and truly transformational when really applied.
The author's writing style is hilarious and makes the journey fun. For me reading this book and working my way through it seemed like a series of chiropractic adjustments to my life, helping me to indeed figure out where I was missing my "right life" and what is standing in its way. Working through the book helped me to develop useful skills that I can use each day to stay on course and to make life more meaningful, just because I know I'm going in the direction that's right for me.
It's an awful lot to get just from a book; I think this work truly earned all five stars. Highly recommended.
***** | | Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What! by Rodale Books Disappointing | | Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What!This book was a real disappointment. The whole essence of it is that what you want will come about on it's own through "magic" (She literally uses that term.) If everything was coming to you on it's own, you wouldn't need this book. Her last book, Finding Your North Star, was better, as it was a more practical plan that can work in the real world. I thought this book would expand on that concept but it appears to be more of a way to cash in on an idea she already came up with in her last book. If you are looking for a book on life coaching, I would suggest you save your money on this one, and try something else. | | Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What! by Rodale Books Reach for the Stars | "Steering by Starlight" send us in the right direction. It tells us how to be our best, by doing our best at finding what is best for the reader. One could read many books on psychology and walk away wondering what they have read. When readers finishes this book, they will not only know what they read, but what to do next.
Having been through, survived, and am now thriving after a 1991 heart transplant, I needed such a read to help me continue reaching for the stars.
Author of: Mr. NewHeart (New Heart): Heart Attack to Transplant and Beyond | | Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What! by Rodale Books Stellar | I couldn't put Steering by Starlight down last night and read right through to the end. The greatest compliment from reader to author is greeting the dawn bleary eyed. This book is like my favorite soup at my favorite Chinese restaurant--full of unexpected and tasty things and sizzling rice. Steering by Starlight crackles with energy, humor, and wisdom! Martha has done it again. Find your own north star first, and then steer by starlight.
