Welcome

Thanks for stopping by my book review blog. I love reading so much I decided to review books, do a few giveaways.
If you want to get your book reviewed, please check my book policy.
I've sadly fallen very sick so I am rarely accepting new books to read so I do it on a day to day basis. I read when I feel well enough so authors have to be very patient about getting a review. Besides I have tons of books to read and I love to give my own opinion about those books to. And I would love to giveaway some of those books to cause I know some of you out there love older books.
Talk soon.

The Fire Starter Sessions by Author Danielle Laporte Author Spotlight and Giveaway


 
Good afternoon,
Today I want to introduce you guys to a great author that I'll be spotlighting And she'll be giving away 2 of her books.  Please read on for these.
The book is titled The Fire Starter Sessions by author Danielle Laporte.
This is a self help-success book
A Soulful + Practical Guide to Creating Success on Your Own Terms

THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide
to defining success on your own terms.
With her signature in-the-trenches truth-telling and humor, Danielle re-frames
popular self-help and success concepts to cut through dull thinking and fear in
order to get straight to one's core desires, pragmatism, and courage.
Part sermon, part pep talk, and part Q&A, THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS is oxygen for aspirations and a modern-day philosophy for people who want to

believe that "consciousness and cash can coexist...that desire will burn the way to
fulfillment...that all dreams are renewable." Each session in the book is
accompanied by worksheets that are provocative and results oriented. Danielle's
unique personal narrative of loss and achievement--
from boardrooms to
ashrams--flow with stories of women and men who stopped playing it safe and
became freedom seekers and fear tamers.
About the Author/Illustrator
Author Residence: Vancouver, CA
As a motivational speaker, Danielle combines spoken word with acumen and inspiration, and practical how-tos—from wellness conferences to women’s business groups. In her one-on-one strategy sessions, Danielle has helped thousands of entrepreneurs clarify what success truly means for them. As the executive director of a Washington, D.C., think tank, Danielle managed a team of futurists studying global trends for the likes of the Pentagon and the World Bank . . . though she never went to college herself. She ran her own communications agency, “promoting visionary people and projects,” including Nobel Peace Prize laureates and philosophers, and she has written company manifesto books for Lululemon and Peer1.

A list of “Top 10 Blogs by Women That Might Change Your Life” describes Danielle like this: “She’s confidently contrarian, feminine, decisive, and creative. She combines spirituality with sound business principles. She has an e-program (The Spark Kit: A Digital Experience for Entrepreneurs) and gives coaching sessions at $1000 a pop. She’s been listed, ranked, and quoted. At the core of her success is her ability to write. She writes beautifully, lustfully, and poignantly.”

A former news show commentator, Danielle has been featured in Elle, Body + Soul, More, Flare, Vogue Australia, Better Homes & Gardens, Globe & Mail, the National Post, and USA Today and on Huffington Post, Entertainment Tonight, and BusinessWeek.com.

Danielle lives in Vancouver, BC, with her firefighter husband and their young son.

 DANIELLE LAPORTE is the creator of WhiteHotTruth.com, which has been called
"the best place online for kick-ass spirituality." She is an inspirational speaker, a
former think-tank exec, and a news-show commentator. She's been featured on
BusinessWeek.com and USAToday.com, and in Elle, Body + Soul, Better Homes
and Gardens, Globe and Mail, Huffington Post, and Entertainment Tonight, among
others.
Insightful, poetic, and just the right kind of brazen,
Danielle reframes success + self-help and burns some illusions to a crisp.
: Life balance is a myth,
and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress than the craving for balance itself.
: Being well rounded is highly overrated. If you want to live from your own creative edge, you have to ride the tension of your contradictions and focus on what makes you feel powerful.
: Competency is for suckers. Your most valuable currency is what comes naturally to you.
When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone.
: You're an artist, and that’s that.
When we’re giving our best, we’re being artistic. When you’re bringing your whole self to the party, you’re making poetry happenand you do it all the time, naturally.
: Screw your principles.
They might be holding you back.
: We have ambition backward.
Clarifying 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.
: Be the giver. Force it if you have to.
Make generosity part of your growth strategy and you will cross that sacred divide where love is no longer a concept but is your soul made manifest. You. Giving. Love. Gorgeous.
THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS is the permission slip you've been waiting for
—  to fully want what you want and go for it, to expand your consciousness and your cash flow, to up the ante on your dreams, to be incredibly generous with your love. This is a modern-day pep talk and soul-centered Q&A for people ready to shine brighter than they ever have.

After Danielle LaPorte’s straight-talking sermons and burning questions about your truest desires—from career to relationships—it will be clear that the only permission you need to shine . . . is your own.
