<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>The Fire Starter Sessions</i> is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide to defining success on your own terms. </b> <p/> Danielle LaPorte's straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have been read by over one million people. Bold but empathetic, in <i>The Fire Starter Sessions</i> she reframes popular self-help and success concepts, including: <p/> - Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress then the craving for balance itself.<br>- Being well-rounded is over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone.<br> - Screw your principles (they might be holding you back). <br> - We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to <i>feel</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Danielle LaPorte is scary smart, yet so kind and practical that she kindles the fire in you without causing you to feel consumed by the flames.
