Much less substance than Fire Starter Sessions...skip this and read that instead.

Can't say enough how much I love this book (and The Firestarter Sessions). I'll be listening to both again very soon. So glad I listened to the audio versions, too. Danielle Laporte's style really comes through.

I love this take on goal setting by thinking about how you want to feel.

I loved the idea - feelings as an internal compass. I also loved LaPorte's personal flair and sass and way of writing.
I didn't like that most of the book was repetition and that half of the book was a workbook.

I'm not going to ramble on about how this book "changed my life" or is a beacon of hope to those that feel lost. Don't get me wrong - it's a great book (as you can tell from my 4-star rating), but I'm not going to paint some fancy picture for you.
I've thought about reading this book since the day that it came out, but I waiting until now to do so. Why? Because I was ready. I was ready to be brutally honest with what I loved about my life + why it was shitty. I wanted to FINALLY make big changes, even if that means making them slowly + progressively. I finally wanted to understand a bit more about myself + what I truly need.
At first, I was worried that this book would be a bit too woo-woo (and as a Yoga teacher, that's saying something!), but gladly, it wasn't. Yeah, there is mentions of God and Spirit ... etc., but you can interpret the meaning any way that works for you. My main concern on the woo-woo front was that it would be to light + fluffy without any real substance - without enough guidance.
Thankfully, there was just enough support and suggestion to know what to do next, but also enough space to really contemplate your life on your own terms. Personally, I recommend this book to everyone, but you do need to be in the right place mentally to make the most of it.

Not my speed. Not particularly amazing. After having it 80% fine for two months, I finally decided I just don't care anymore.

I absolutely loved this book. I actually hesitate to even call it only a "book", because it is so much more than that. It really is more of a process, and a process that will transform your life, if you allow it.
The Desire Map really made me look into myself, and figure out what I wanted from life, and how to go about getting it... all based on how I truly want to feel.
LaPorte is a wonderful, real, and caring writer... and her passion for her project really translates through her writing.
