I had this book on my shelf for a year and it called out to me recently. This was the perfect time to read it, as I've been in a funk all around lately: creatively, emotionally, financially, etc while dealing with some chronic health issues. This was definitely the right time to hear Danielle's message. I've been trying to get my blog off the ground as a legit source of income for a while now but can't seem to figure it out. This book helped me see where I need to align my personal values with my product and take some risks. It also fired me up about what I'm passionate about and reminded me that not having a traditional looking "career" is totally okay. Danielle's writing is positive and casual, I liked that. But at times it felt like she's coming from a place of privilege that I can't achieve. (Like in the very beginning when she mentions she was soul searching and had tea with Eckert Tolle and a meeting with the Dali Lama.)
There wasn't a ton of content in here that was new to me, as I've read a ton of material on this topic. But I appreciated her personal spin on success because there's not a lot of personal development stuff out there that helps you align spiritually with your desire for success and money.
The exercises at the end of each chapter are super useful. I haven't done them all yet, but I know I'll refer back to this book a lot as a continue on my path with my blog. There are a lot of great one-liners and inspirational quotes in here from Danielle as well as references to other books and teachers who send the same message.

I highly recommend everyone read this if they want an introspective look at their life, both personally and professionally. Even if all you did was go through the worksheets, you'll come out with a clearer picture of what is a priority in your life, what you truly want to work toward and how to take initial steps to get there.
This isn't just some fluffy self-help book. It's more about helping you discover what's important to you and what should be eliminated. You'll have peace of mind after reading.

Damn, this book is good. I highly recommend it for anyone who is considering change, of any form. Not only do you feel driven to set out to conquer your dream, but you want to help others with theirs, too. Empowering, inspirational, I want to read a chapter every morning to get a kickstart.

I liked this book so much that I slowed down reading it about halfway through because I didn't want it to end. Very practical and very inspirational approach to creating the life you want by someone who practices what she preaches. "We fill up our lives. That's what humans do. The question is what are you filling it with? Are you out-of-control busy, or are you full with life? Full is beautiful. Frantic is a buzz kill."
