Product Description:
In the tradition of her bestseller, Finding Your Own North Star, Oprah Magazine columnist Martha Beck reconnects readers with their best destinies. Described as one of the best-known life coaches in America in media such as Psychology Today, NPR, and USA Today, Martha Beck has demonstrated a rare gift for helping people whose lives have gone off course find their way back to authentic, rewarding lives. Now, in Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What!, Martha Beck describes the step-by-step process she uses with her private clients to help them navigate the terrain of their best lives. Bringing together cutting-edge research in psychiatry, neurology, and related fields in an accessible, substantive, original way, Dr. Beck offers powerful new methods for solving the problems that beset ordinary people. Using her trademark wisdom, empathy, and engaging style, she connects readers with fresh, never-before published strategies that have proven most effective and efficient for the hundreds of people she has coached. For readers who have found their North Stars, this book will be an invaluable tool to stay the course and overcome obstacles. For those who still feel adrift, it will provide a way to find true North and follow the path of best destiny. Dr. Beck identifies three stages along the path to recapturing a satisfying life:-“the stargazer” helps readers understand why it’s so easy to lose themselves and offers strategies for sighting their North Star-“the mapmaker” uses this newly clarified perspective to evaluate one’s situation and plot a course for upcoming years-“the pathfinder” discusses the adventures that may be encountered as one travels along this new life course Whether it’s seeking better relationships, more focused career direction, the achievement of specific fitness goals, or a more harmonious lifestyle, Steering by Starlight’s colorful anecdotes, case studies, and exercises will point the way.

I confess that I love everything that Martha Beck has written, but this time she has completely outdone herself. This book reflects the profound wisdom of her experiences and it could hardly be more inspiring! Totally recommend it.

This is the best book I have ever read for motivating people to live their lives fully, in the present moment, and totally at their essence. Martha Beck is brilliant - she lets the wisdom of the universe flow through her and uses it to enlighten and uplift others. And she does it unpretentiously, with humor,, creativity and understanding. She speaks to your soul. Wonderful. Thank you Martha.

For those who are a fan of Beck's North Star book this is a continuation of her method. Contains excercises, case studies, commentary, and other tools from her Polaris Training. A serious read and good reference material for those seeking their sense of direction.

I haven't read this - but North star SAVED MY LIFE. Also - i was in the place to change - i had hit rock bottom, THEN picked up the book. If you are already on your true path, you probably don't need Martha's kind of help. Lucky you!
In my review of North * i note the best part was the map of change and the "yes, changing will SUCK - but it can be ok!" ... Read More

I am in the midst of the most turbulent changes of my life. As I had been nearing some options for decisions, my body would become tight, pained, or just plain anxious. My mind wanted to go one way, and my spirit another. It just left me plain confused about what the heck was going on.

This positive thinking has always bugged me because it seemed to cast blame if challenge happened ... Read More
