Resumen del Editor

How do you feel about setting goals?

I’ve heard people say they feel energized, depressed, confused, terrified, pumped, ambivalent, lost...or all of the above. Here’s what I’ve realized: Our relationship to success is inside-out. When we make our New Year’s resolutions, bucket lists, big plans, or weekly to-dos, we’re hoping that when we "arrive" we’ll be fulfilled. Our hearts will swell as we cross the finish line, and then we can finally relax and savor our happiness. Except more often than not, that doesn’t happen. Even when we meet our objectives, we wonder if we aimed too low, or took too long, or if we could have done it better. And when we fall short, we come down on ourselves like a ton of bricks. So we make the next goal, hoping it’ll give us everything the last one didn’t.

It’s a self-defeating cycle that’s burning us out. How do we change it?

Here’s the whole cosmic, life-liberating revelation:

You’re not actually chasing the goal. You’re chasing the feeling that you hope attaining the goal will give you.

Every craving, aspiration, or goal you have - from what you eat, wear, and own, to all the things you want to create or do - is driven by a desire to feel a certain way. That’s it. And that’s where the Desire Map process starts. In The Desire Map Experience, I’ll share a process that you’ll use to transform the way you relate to every aspect of your life. It’s not about learning a new time-budgeting method, filling out a questionnaire, or making another list to stick on your fridge. Instead, you’ll get crystal clear about how you want to feel about everything you do. The Desire Map is holistic life planning. Here’s how it works:

• We’ll uncover your core desired feelings - they’ll be your new North Star for living a soul-centered life
• You’ll learn how to identify expectations you’ve picked up from your parents, the Joneses, the media, or the imaginary "they" you’re always trying to impress
• We’ll use guided reflections to go deep into what your soul is trying to tell you through your core desired feelings
• I’ll show you how to tune into critical signals from your instincts, your body, and the people around you
• We’ll apply Desire Mapping to all the major areas of your life - livelihood & lifestyle, body & wellness, creativity & learning, relationships & society, and essence & spirituality
• You’ll learn how to create practical plans with daily, weekly, and monthly actions that will bring more and more of your core desired feelings into your life
• I’ll be sharing poetry, stories, and inspirational truths to help you stay in touch with the sweetness of life

You’ll make this process your own. It’s not a one-size-fits-all deal. You’ll create your Desire Map in the way that lets your soul speak loud and clear in every day of your life.

Feeling good along the way to your goals doesn’t mean you won’t need to work your ass off - but when you do, you’ll do the work joyously. You’ll be creating goals that are life-affirming, nourishing, practical, forgiving, and true to who you are.

Great book

An entirely new look at reaching your goals. Loving the now and the journey and understanding where your need to accomplish certain goals comes from.

great ideas how to execute

I absolutely loved this book and her ideas on how to attach feelings intentions to goals make them almost full proof

Middle 2 hrs is life-changing

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Many cons but a few important pros (rendering it 'worth it'). Her voice - the odd Candanian accent, the slow, pretentious, '90s-sexy' voice is a huge turn-off. It just doesn't sound authentic - as if she is a second-rate actor playing a part. To get past this - I played it at 1.5x - making the voice higher, faster, and less sexy. Then the music.... it is annoying and pops in often - quite humorous, it's so dorky and stupid. The first three chapters are a waste, filler material. zzzzz... The 4 & 5th chapter is where it's at. You are being asked a series of questions to find out your heart's desire. This is what makes it all worthwhile. About 2 hrs worth of material, if you play it at 1.5x, it's less. But whatever - it's a workbook in audio format. If it was just sold as these two chapters then it would be like $6.95 for audible members so hence why they didn't - probably. But even as a credit, if you're at the place in your life where you want to manifest it real, you could really benefit. From it, I had a REAL breakthrough. Just, WOW. The final chapter centers upon how to get to where you want to go now that you know your core desire feelings. It's basically the same questions being asked again and again and again in various aspects of your life... so 5 mins of it is useful.

Any additional comments?

I was searching for a workbook to help me with manifesting and it's here.

Life changing magic

The Desire Map is poetic , deep and life changing . A perfect resource to start the New Year.

after hearing the audio I purchase the book.

prefect... be prepared to think and be honest with self. I feel ready for the new year and beyond

Wow! What a trip!

I journal often, but I've never been so addictive to it! This was hard work but so rewarding. Tx u, Danielle!

Good but be Careful

I love the message of this book. I would recommend this to those in your life who have not yet dabbled in self help or are new to the world of desire and happiness. Although its new information, much around this topic is already written about. I say "be careful" in that, this book can put you to sleep. Not because the material is boring, but because her voice is so soothing and relaxing.

Very enlightening

I enjoyed The Desire Map because it forced me to look at myself from another perspective.. Not solely focusing on tangible goals but emotional and spiritual ones which are just as or even more important than the tangible.

The only challenge is that the authors voice is so relaxing it can almost be interpreted as sensual/sexual which was a little distracting at first.

But overall amazing and life changing for me.

It will know your (life) socks off!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both, many times. I read this book in a very intense time of my life so it was super useful beause it helped me dive deeper into my feelings and desires.

Any additional comments?

Amazing book, it will change your life

Thorough heart felt method for managing your core desires!

Loved Danielle la porte's method and encouragement for arriving at your core desired feelings.

It makes sense to reveal goals based on how you want to feel, as I have been the person that completes a goal but feels none of the expected pleasure from it.

I feel as if starting this process has been vital to setting me up for 2016 and getting me more in touch with who I am and what I want to achieve this year - the results surprised me, but feel so natural!

Danielle delivers the method with realism and heart, an approachable and soft voice with plenty of spirit.
