The desire map A guide to creating goals with soul

LaPorte (The Fire Starter Sessions) revisits the traditional list of objectives that people typically make (such as career goals or a bucket list), instead asking readers to consider the feelings they're trying to experience as a result of attaining these goals. In the first half of the book, she describes how readers can achieve these feelings, while in the second part, she sketches designs for desire maps that encompass areas such as body and wellness, livelihood and lifestyle, creativity and learning, relationships and society, and essence and spirituality. LaPorte's writing style is stream of consciousness, which would be distracting if not for the bolded highlights and large-type summaries. -VERDICT Though this title isn't for everyone, it would be ideal for women's study groups.
