Publisher's summary

The Fire Starter Sessions is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide to defining success on your own terms.

As the creator of DanielleLaPorte.com - deemed "the best place online for kick-ass spirituality", Danielle LaPorte’s straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have inspired over one million people. Bold but empathetic, she reframes popular self-help and success concepts:

  • Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress then the craving for balance itself.
  • Being well-rounded is overrated. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone.
  • Screw your principles (they might be holding you back).

We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to feel in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It's the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it's what leads to true fulfillment.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Fire Starter Sessions - This book rocks

What did you love best about The Fire Starter Sessions?

Depending on your mindset, this book is an outstanding listen. But you gotta have some of the right DNA to begin with to get in the same universe as LaPort. I will take a second listen in a few weeks.... see how I feel then, will let u all know.

Soul searching?

Danielle’s provocative writing style and authenticity makes it hard to put this book down. For anyone who is on the journey to understand yourself on a deeper level, I highly recommend giving this a chance. She challenges the status quo and gets you thinking about those thoughts you wave so often away.

Great advice. Unnecessary Vulgar.

Would you listen to The Fire Starter Sessions again? Why?

Yes, it was good advice.

Would you be willing to try another book from Danielle LaPorte? Why or why not?

Not sure, she seems to try to hard to be 'edgy.'

Any additional comments?

Less swearing. The F bombs made it unappealing to me, long term.

Loved it from beginning to end

I just learned of Danielle LaPorte on an episode of Good Life Project podcast a few days ago. I was so inspired by her that I immediately purchased this book on Audible. Her voice is so soothing and loving. It really helps all of her powerful insights sink in. She shares just enough about her personal story and offers exercises throughout the book so you can apply her tools and techniques to your own life. This book definitely inspired me to reconsider some things and take action in areas I've been slacking in. I'm already excited to read it again. It's certainly a fire starter!
