stands out in the self-help crowd

As a previous life coach, I read this book skeptically, wondering if it would offer anything I hadn't already heard about. WOW...was I impressed! Ms. Scholten has not only done her "coaching" homework, evidenced by the innovative and well-motivated exercises and life planning examples she provides, but she has also done her "emotional" homework. What I mean is that her practical tools are integrated with an astute understanding of what it means to really struggle with one's life path. Together, her coaching expertise and her intuitive ability to grasp the difficulties that everyone has, at one time or another, create a focused, powerful, and [...] kicking tool to change one's life for the better.

Great information and tips - a good read.

I bought this book and not only found many useful tips and practice exercises but enjoyed reading it as well. I particularly liked the "wheel of life" exercise, it really helps focus on the importance of being balanced and well-rounded. It can also help pinpoint the areas in your life where you might need more focus. I even used this book as a topic for a meeting at work and shared some of it with my coworkers.

A good guide for assessing your life

It's not always easy to find direction in life regarding your career, family, friendships and relationships. Too often we 'react' to what is thrown at us, instead of 'acting' to make things happen the way that we want them to. I think this book was a great guide for helping me to prioritize what I'm looking for and what I want to get out of different areas of my life. It helped me list and focus on things I really wanted to improve apon and achieve. The book is writen in a friendly, relaxed manner, making it all the easier to read. I have given this book to more than one friend.
