Finding Your Own North Star

Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live

De: Martha Beck

Narrado por: Karen White

"The North Star - Stella Polaris - is a fixed point that can always be used to figure out which way you're headed. Explorers and mariners can depend on Polaris when there are no other landmarks in sight. The same relationship exists between you and your right life, the ultimate realization of your potential for happiness. I believe that a knowledge of that perfect life sits inside you just as the North Star sits in its unaltering spot. You may think you're utterly lost, but brush away the leaves, wait for the clouds to clear, and you'll see your destiny shining as brightly as ever - the fixed point in the constantly changing constellations of your life." (Martha Beck)

As the creator of Life Designs, Inc., Martha Beck has helped hundreds of clients find their own North Stars and figure out how to fulfill their potential and create joyful lives through her lectures, seminars, and one-on-one counseling. In this book she shares her step-by-step program that will guide you to fulfill your own potential.

Worst narrator!!

I will never buy another book with this woman. She also did brene Browns book. I was livid when I heard her voice! Horrifying and ruins the good content.

Poor narrator

Great book! Loved the content but the sarcastic tone of the narrator made it very difficult to get through. Poor choice in narrator.

This book for me was life-changing!

I wish I would have found this book sooner. This book excites the inner parts of my soul. I am now happy, relaxed, and more confident about the world.

Remarkably healing and transformative!

This book completely changed my life! So many deep, actionable insights into understanding what it means to live my right life- the "ultimate realization of [my] potential for happiness" (xv), "the ultimate manifestation of [my] potential for good and happiness" (xiv). These insights are accompanied by remarkable steps to get there, to access "the set of conditions [that] allow [me] to fulfill [my] potential while creating the greatest positive impact on the world" (xv). My life has changed immeasurably because of this book, and I continue re-reading it seven years later.

I did give the narrator for the Audible version a low rating though : ( the voice sounds timid and afraid and does not do justice to this powerful work.

Wonderful book for younger readers

I am a Martha Beck fan. Though, only read up to chapter nine of this title. Overall, felt this was a solid book aimed at helping those relatively new to theories about personal growth, navigate change. As someone who has been thinking about this for several decades, I found the tools and stories to reinforce what I already knew. Similar to other readers, I felt the narration was distracting and contributed to me not finishing.
