Finding Your Own North Star - Martha Beck
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this book! This is the book that pushed me full-throttle into becoming a life coach. Finding Your Own North Star is, in my opinion, the book to use when trying to design a life that's in-synch with who you really are. Dr. Beck really "gets it". I enjoy her writing style, because she's down-to-earth and funny, too! Don't drink any liquids while reading, though, because you'll find yourself laughing when you least expect it!
The Joy Diet - Martha Beck
Dr. Beck does it again! After reading Finding Your Own North Star, I had the good fortune of meeting her at a conference in New York City. As much as I love her books, she's even better in person! Simply put, The Joy Diet has nothing to do with food. It consists of "10 Daily Practices for a Happier Life", and how to incorporate them into yours.
How Much Joy Can You Stand? - Suzanne Falter-Barns
This book may look small, but it packs a wallop for everyone who's having trouble starting - whether it be starting "the great American novel", a painting, new business or screenplay. It's not necessarily a matter of having talent, it's all about having the passion to follow our dreams. She also shows us how "failures" actually help us in the creative process.
Write it Down Make it Happen - Henriette A. Klauser
Henriette Anne Klauser, Ph.D., explains how writing down one's life goals is the first step toward achieving them. Her book includes down-to-earth tips and exercises that get your creative juices flowing. This book will help you identify your goals, deal with the negative "stuff" that gets in the way of achieving them, and achieve what you want in life.
Stand Up for Your Life - Cheryl Richardson This is the book that started it all for me. I had read this and as a result, joined a Life Makeover Group. We worked through this book for the better part of a year, and the results were incredible. It was while working through this book with the group that I had my first glimpse of Life Coaching.
This quote from the book says it all: "In this book I'll take you on a journey that will provide you with new "self- honoring" strategies to transform your fear and self-doubt into power. You'll learn to trust yourself. You'll build new courage muscles that will increase your self-esteem. And you'll develop the confidence to step out into unknown territory so you can realize your greatest potential."
