Touched a nerve - Rated
My first review after years of purchasing on Amazon. I felt compelled to write a quick review, this will appeal to all those that feel 'stuck' or feel like they have exhausted all their options and have no one or no where else to turn to for advice ~ its time to go inwards!...Ive read sooooo many books and spoke to soooo many people as i have an itch that needs scratching, problem is i couldn't work out where it was!,,this book hasnt provided the answer but it has provided some tools that have helped me to look at me differently. This lady sprinkles this book with humour which engaged me even more. Cant say its changed my life over night but it certainly has prodded me out of my 'poor me' stupor...a lot of her case studies are high flyers, i would have liked to have read more about average joes like me, mums that have lost themselves bringing up kids or generally been sidetracked from 'your north star' by lifes knocks..

Wonderful fun! - Rated
I always look forward to the next book in the Starlight / North Star series coming out. I do so enjoy Martha's tongue in cheek humour and dry wit.
If, like me, you relish reading Martha Beck you will probably love George Macdonald Fraser's "Flashman" novels.

Really enjoyable - Rated
I enjoy the humour and stories in this book
I have enjoyed all of Martha Becks books

Great for finding and keeping on your personal path - Rated
Lovely, flowing read. Even where Martha's challenging your long held beleifs, she holds your hand as she takes you on your journey.
It may take inner courage to complete some of the (simple) exercises, but chances are, they'll prove to be well worth doing.
Particularly good for people who just don't know what it is they were born to do - or even if anything like that exists!

Worth a read - Rated
This book has certainly got me thinking! I haven't quite got to the end yet as I got stuck into reading something else, which suggests that I began to find the book and exercises a bit tedious towards the end. That said, I am most definitely more aware of what I do and do not want out of my life, have made some positive changes, and have a sense of calm over my life. For me, I think it's a book I need to read to get the overall message, then start again and think things through on a deeper level - I think that's just my style of working. The funny thing is, I've helped my husband to find his North Star! That's a positive though, as he is now more in tune to my needing to find mine! I think if you're going to get the most out of the book, you need to work through each exercise, and allow time for that bit to sink in. I haven't really given it enough time, but it's definitely staying on my bookshelf.
