Customer Reviews

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

At last, a book that is honest, direct and completely inspirational. The author taps into critical patterns and habits of "waiting" that we all encounter in life and she offers great ideas about how to change your individual story. I found myself highlighting and ear-marking many sections so I can easily find them again. Throughout the book I felt my own inner voice echoed in the words of the author and truly felt like she was speaking to (and from) my heart! Thank you for helping me stop waiting and start doing!!!

An Antidote for Self Help Addicts

Self Help books and seminars, groupies, internet chat programs, even expensive courses offered in every city across the country serve a good purpose. They encourage people to change their lives or approach to the world to make living more comfortable an fulfilling. But there are people whose book shelves bulge with book after book of 'authoritative resources' to guide the reader through changes that require a lot of time and commitment to programs, lists, charts to mark progress, etc. It all of that really necessary? Yes, for some people who cannot commit to professional help to make their lives workable these inexpensive and in many cases very well prepared programs provide assistance. Then along comes Kristen Moeller and in her very entertaining, very personal, and very well written little book WAITING FOR JACK and the concept of becoming a 'self-help junkie' puts it all into perspective. Moeller's precis is straightforward: 'stop waiting for remedies for external change and simply start living your life'. Sound simplistic? Not in Moeller's witty and caring and warm hands. Sharing her own experiences and having the courage to expose her own vulnerabilities and expectations for someone to help her 'fix' her life, she shares how introspection and learning to love yourself is a viable path to getting off the john and just take on living inside your own body and life. It is easy to read and easy to absorb. And for people who constantly engage in self help programs, it is a blessing! Grady Harp, May 10

Surrender is not an option!

This was a classic real life case of "don't judge a book by its cover" Don't let the sub title fool you; Kristen Moeller delivers content with real, true, funny, heartfelt, & sincere insights on how to practice the best habits for you to stop waiting and get moving on your thoughts. Timing is everything and there hasn't been a better time to Disrupt Your Ordinary! If you are looking to break out of your routine this book will surely be a wake up call. I am exposed to books on a regular basis and my quest for knowledge and Library is extensive. I had the opportunity to receive Kristen's book at a chance meeting in LA and added it to my collection. Though brief, her energy gave me a sense that this book may be pretty special; I placed it on my shelf with the others for my reading queue. I thought when will I read this book when I have so many already? Then one early morning as I walked into my office, thoughts of my personal relationship with my wife prompted me to take immediate action with many questions about our relationship and its longevity. I decided to change my patterns, there it was staring at me...The day had come, based on a "gut" feeling I catapulted this "Waiting For Jack" to the top of my reading list. I believed that she in fact probably has something great to say. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, changed my normal patterns and began reading with intensity. Kristen's message answered my call for the information I needed at that exact moment I needed it and she delivered. Thank you for your wonderful Wisdom and Information! I will gladly be referring this book to my community in the quest to make a difference and change the way we filter the world and communicate more effectively.

Waiting for Book #2

Waiting for Jack took me through Kristen Moeller's personal journey of overcoming her troubled young adulthood riddled with addiction and self doubt eventually reconnecting her to emotional, physical and spiritual well being. It is rich, intelligent and alive with humility and courage. In her ability to express the beauty of her humanity, Kristen shows us that self acceptance and a grateful life are available to us all, NOW. In seeing such a conscious and practical book from a first time published author, Kristen is sure to become an influential teacher and leader in the field of personal transformation.

I'm not waiting anymore!

After hearing Kristen (she is an amazing speaker) speak at Author 101 University, I just HAD to get her book! "Waiting for Jack" is a page turner! Kristen grabs your attention from the beginning with her story about meeting Jack Canfield for the first time and how that meeting allows for a new path to unfold in her life. However, this book is about more than one "Jack" and you will be entertained and inspired as Kristen takes you on a journey of self discovery and the opportunity to ask yourself this question, "What am I waiting for?". I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels stuck...or feels like they are waiting for something or someone to give them the next step in their lives. "Waiting for Jack" will change your life. I'm not waiting anymore!
