Summary: No, really, this book did change my life!
Review: At a difficult point in my career, I turned to this book to help me move to something new. I followed the steps described and it really worked. I had a dream of teaching environmental ethics at university, and now I am! A great thing about this book is that it is really written for sceptics like me who can't stand self-help books. Barbera Sher is particularly suspicious of resolutions and positive affirmations. She states quite clearly that you don't have to improve your character in order to get a good life - good news indeed! Another great thing about this book is that, just as she promises, all the exercises suggested are actually fun. This book moved me from a place of despondancy to a widening sense of wonder and excitement in life. Could you ask for more than that?

Summary: Find Your Flow
Review: For some lucky few, life is lived like a powerful river flowing directly to open sea letting nothing block its path. For some of us others, we are bankless and flow in every direction, sometimes creating marshy messes, dwindling too often into mere trickles. This book in its 10 steps provides channel pieces that can direct that energy. No longer do we, dissipated with choices and talents, need to feel aimless. This book guides with the gentlest touch, making it safe to say, "Yes, this is what I want to do...This is what I've always wanted to do."

Summary: Live the life you really love!
Review: I am a sucker for self help books. I usually feel great after reading one and then nothing. This book however is an exception. A truly insightful book that can change your life! We often read that if we think a certain way, and do things a certain way we can make what we want happen. Then of course we wonder what is wrong when things don't workout. The author explains why positive thinking, affirmations, and willing and wishing aren't always successful. She describes how everyone is motivated differently and by using her techniques you will be able to determine what motivates you. She will help you learn how to take steps to make your desires come true even when you feel like you can't possibly succeed. The author describes techniques for a strong imaginary support system that will help you achieve your goals. This book is very different than the usual "you can do it" book. If you follow the simple steps with this book "you will do it"! A wonderful book! You can start implementing the steps right away and be on your way to the life you love! As I read her book I put her suggestions to work. I can not believe how much easier it is to accomplish my goals!

Summary: A great book by someone who knows what life is all about
Review: If you buy only one book this year buy this one. This book makes you dream again like you used to when you were a child. Remeber when you were five and could do and be anything? "Live the Life you Love" recaptures those dreams and shows you step by step how to get them. Barbara's stategies are practical, fun, wonderfully revealing and most of all, they work. I found myself smiling and nodding with agreement throughout this book. "Live the Live you Love" helped me go from being a straving artist with a few drawings on the wall to a successful international toy designer. My latest toy line is being featured at the Hong Kong International Trade Show, the biggest toy show in the world in January. After reading this book you will believe that dreams really do come true, including yours. Brian S., Albuquerque, New Mexico

Summary: My highest gratitude and praise to Barbara Sher
Review: Just started reading, it becomes one of my fav books all time. It will truely set you free. Live the life you love is not just a carrer, it's exactly why we are here in this world. It's our authentic and spiritual life. She is one of the rare authors that knows exactly how you feel and knows exactly the feelings of axiety, loneliness, hopelessness. Her lessons will lead you to home. I read the first and second lesson so far, but I can feel something is changing inside of me. I feel that I am returning home. When you know what your true purpose is, you ARE living the life you love. It's so simple yet we were all taught to live what we are good at and competing others. She said, 'when you love doing something, you have a gift for it...everytime...that's what you are supposed to do.' I will never undervalue my needs anymore. Great book for this summer, so excited! =0)

Summary: This Book is An Absolute Gem!
Review: Live the Life You Love is overflowing with valuable ideas that will help you to uncover and appreciate your uniqueness -- which in turn, can lead you to fulfilling work. Barbara guides her readers through a series of exercises -- exercises which I think are not only thought-provoking, but also fun. Her tone is conversational and genuine. If you're looking for a no-nonsense approach to self-exploration and career guidance, read this book. Paula Fitzsimmons, pjpublications.com
