The Fire Starter Sessions: A Soulful + Practical Guide to Creating Success on Your Own Terms

Front Cover
Harmony/Rodale, Apr 17, 2012 - Self-Help - 368 pages
The Fire Starter Sessions is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide to defining success on your own terms.
 
Danielle LaPorte’s straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have been read by over one million people. Bold but empathetic, in The Fire Starter Sessions she reframes popular self-help and success concepts, including:
 
- 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 over-rated. 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.
