a prescription for joy I’ve been through a really trying year and after reading Martha’s columns in O magazine I decided to try this book.I don’t really like most self-help books because their advice usually evaporates soon after reading.This doesn’t. It sticks. I keep it by my bed and have been reading and re-reading it as needed.Whenever I need a boost or a reminder to keep on track, I pick it up and get re-inspired. Hers is a very refreshing practical approach to making your life more joyful. Her writing style is funny and direct with a common sense attitude that is very appealing. Buy it!

An excellent follow-up to “Finding Your Own North Star” I was thrilled to see a new book from Martha Beck, and since I work in a bookstore, I was able to start reading it before it was released. I meditate, so although I wouldn’t say that the first “menu item” is easy, I was able to skip to week two automatically. Don’t skip it if you don’t do it! It certainly is essential to my life, and helps me stay focused. Each week/chapter adds another dimension to the “diet”, and expands your life in some other way. As I am impatient, I can’t simply read a chapter a week, so I am finishing the book and then incorporating the weeks as I go along. I appreciate Ms. Beck’s sense of humor and frank honesty. She has been a lifestyle coach for quite a few years and offers excellent advice. If you missed “Finding Your Own North Star”, be sure and check it out.

Another “wow” from a very special author People who visit my site often assume I’m getting commissions from Martha Beck. I wish I were: I’ve recommended Finding Your Own North Star to just about every client and every person I know.
