Beyond finding my marbles

This is an easy read. It has however, the potential to change your life. Most of us have to admit that overwhelming and anxious times are a reality of life, for some more so than others. Regardless the degree or level of issues in our lives, what I love about this simple book is the "map" it offers for seeing ourselves through those times. This is a book for anyone, anywhere, anytime. I believe the "map" or principals or steps, whatever you want to call them - will not only allow you to begin to "find your marbles" but may well move your life in a positive direction "beyond." The fictional story within is quite good - and at some point you will figure it out before you finish. At least you will think you have figured it out. My jar of marbles moved up from storage in the basement - to a glass container where I can readily see them everyday. You will understand why. This book was a gift from a friend - Thank you! Sue and Thank You! Clare, Troy, Julie and Laura for encouraging all of us to "find our marbles."

Finding Your Marbles

A lot of wisdom in a great little book. I'm so glad I took the time to read this gem. When I finished, I wanted to get another for a friend--I need to keep mine. Clare Sente and Troy Adams wove a believable, upbeat story with positive life lessons.

Principles to Live By

Since I know both Clare and Troy personally, this book was a must read for me. I was not disappointed. I also feel fortunate that I was recently present with them at a conference, so I was able to get them both to sign my copy of the book. Using a story format, Clare and Troy lay out a set of seven life principles readers can use to optimize their life and well-being. Clare developed the principles after participating in a health coach training program. The seven principles are: 1. Be grateful 2. Find daily joy 3. Turn down the noise 4. Imagine your dreams 5. Connect with support 6. Do something you have never done 7. Give back Clare and Troy did a masterful job of integrating the principles into a wonderful, fictional story that keeps the reader engaged throughout. The story, while short in length, is life changing and definitely worth reading. If you are looking for a template to use to make changes in your life, this book and its principles would be a good place to start.

Book made impact on me.

I read this thinking it might be a hokey self help book. Instead, I was really moved by the story. It helped me to see things more clearly in my life and put things in perspective. I read it every free minute I had. I still keep marbles at the office and on my windowsill at home-read it and you'll know why..

Powerful Reading!

I just finished reading this book and I was profoundly moved by it. The story is simple and direct, while capturing a depth of feeling rarely achieved. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a practical way to increase joy and gratitude in everyday life.
