Like a Zen Koan
Great book! But, be prepared to slow down in order to really savor it. Every sentence is so packed with transformative potential that I found myself having to put the book down after reading a paragraph or two to pause for reflection. The author’s own sincere passion, which was presented in an accessible, funny, and irreverent style, was just the inspiration I needed to actively commit to doing the internal and external work needed to gently burn away the sense of ennui that has been permeating my so-called life for years.

Hot Damn, LaPorte!
Danielle LaPorte is a force of nature, and fabulous to hear live (if you can) but… the best thing is that her book so beautifully communicates her wise, palpably poetic presence. The Fire Starter Sessions articulates and inspires a new way of breathing life into our lives and businesses. It is a book I will reach for and return to for years to come. Read the full review.

A Kick Starter To “Really Living” You Life
I have read a lot of books on life, spiritual, dreaming, living your purpose, etc.. But this book puts real facts and real meaning into your mission of living.
If you need a flame started in living your dream, purpose, or just an extra-ordinary life, buy this book today and do the work and fill in the worksheets. It will start your fire for sure. Read the full review.

“The Fire Starter Sessions is the absolute most brilliant thing I’ve ever read. I feel like I just happened upon treasure.”
- Thessali Caronna
“We as women need to be more like (Danielle) and take a leaf out of her book and just damn well live life how we want to, on our terms and don’t care what anyone says you can or can’t do, what you can or should feel or what you shouldn’t dream of doing – if it makes your heart do cartwheels and sets your soul on fire – get off your backside and DO IT ALREADY!”
By the end of this journey I felt inspired to really take a stand for what I want. And it isn’t the kind of inspiration that just “sparks” and then dies down after a couple of days. I have started a fire and intend to keep fueling it. I just feel really silly that I allowed it to be dowsed so many times in the past. Read the full review.

Inspiring
The Fire Starter Sessions is a great book to help a person find or flame their personal and or professional creativity. I have found it very inspiring. I also like the format of the book. The formating is creative and lends itself to making notes, highlighting and doodling in it. I used it almost as a journal as well. Read the full review.

I have been waiting for this
I have already recommended this book to one of my clients. I can’t put it down. In fact, I was so inspired by the first two sections, I could hardly sleep last night.
The Fire Starter Sessions is so incredibly rich and deep. I read a bit and savor it. I ask myself the questions. I feel how I want to feel deep in my soul and then read on for more layers of goodness. I’m grateful for this book. I have it on my phone so I look forward to stealing moments throughout the day to take in a little more of it. I can’t say enough how much I love it — just like fine dark chocolate for the soul!

Unique and amazing book
In reading the book I actually felt like someone was lighting a fire both beneath me and within me and spurring me to take action.
It really engages you and has questions and writing prompts at the end of the chapter to help you go deeper, examine yourself, and create changes. As I read this book I felt so inspired and motivated to take action and create change in my own life.
It’s such a positive reading experience and you can read one session per day and work your way through the book over time. I can see myself coming back to some of the prompts and activities because they are so effective and fun. I’d encourage anyone looking to transform themselves to check out this book. It’s definitely not your typical self-help book but it is incredibly powerful and uplifting. Read the full review.

Life Changing, Soul Affirming
WOW!! I simply cannot say enough about this book. Witty, thought provoking, self effacing and at times laugh out loud funny, there were parts of this book that literally gave me chills, they resonated so deeply with me. At the end of each session, there are exercises to do to help you incorporate each session into your own life… A true gem. I have since given this book to my best girlfriend, who also agrees… this book really will ignite your inner fire! A must own! Read the full review.

Sassy, Delicious, Definitive Inspiration At It’s Finest!
Danielle LaPorte has a fabulously sassy and definitive writing style with content to offer anyone who dares to contemplate the question “Should I dream? Dare I hope for more?” The entire book is an adventure in the senses – the bright, cheery cover (in my favorite color by the way) is just the beginning… Modern fonts and color and graphic shapes splashed throughout the book make it visually appealing enough to draw you in. Once you get to content, it doesn’t let you go. If there was a mind map for the dreamer, this would be it! Read the full review.

Laporte is brilliant
I love Laporte in interviews, at workshops, on audio–her wisdom, her voice, her delivery–and this book is no exception. “The Fire Starter Sessions” is brilliant, practical, spiritual, anecdotal, and very, very powerful. The only thing that may put people off is that she is undeniably new agey in her approach (which is in my opinion, reinvigorating old age wisdom:) Read the full review.

Watch her vid, read the book, fire up your life!!
This books is sassy and smart. Forget flowery advice or well-worn cliches, La Porte will give it to you straight and still make you believe that you can fly to the moon. I bought this book after watching the ‘promotional video’ type thing on her website, where she talks through her ‘credo for life’. That video sums up the book – it gives me goose-pimples. Watch the video. If what she says resonates with you, then you will get a lot out of this book. If you want non-nonsense, street-smart advice that will get you to believe in yourself and *get things done*, then this book is for you. Personally, I highly recommend it. Read the full review.

Bought one for me, now buying more for friends!
I bought this book for myself a month or so ago. I have been so impressed with the book, the layout, the exercises that provoke new ways of thinking that I came back today to buy several more as gifts for friends. If you are trying to find a different way of thinking, break out of a rut, crush a writer’s block, find a new passion or just think through some really cool, potentially life altering perspective shifting exercises, (oh, and not take yourself so seriously at the same time) this is the book for you.

One of a kind
I have read, nah, not really read – started reading a number of self help books and then vowed to “get back to them”. Not this one folks! I swallowed this like a steamy, summer novel and couldn’t put it down. Danielle’s style is so straightforward, funny, but insightful I felt like she was one of my buds talking to me personally. I am an artist and sometimes need a good kick to stay on track; some of us tend to wander. I will return to this book every time I feel I need that push forward to stay focused and true to myself. Thanks Danielle! Read the full review.

Wisdom and gems to rediscover for years
If you are a creative, open-minded, soul-centered person, let Danielle into your home with this book and you will not be sorry. She shows up bearing many a gift here, starting with the deliciously unique design of the material itself. It’s full of treasures for anyone who longs to give their best gifts to the world- who needs a clearer path because they are a rightbrainer in a left brain culture that doesn’t have a roadmap for them. Danielle gets it and shines many lights on a way forward, all the while giving us new things to think about – new ways of seeing. Read the full review.

Are you Ready?
Not everyone is ready for Fire Starter Sessions. Let me tell you why. You may quit your job, leave your man, move to another city, quit graduate school or climb Kilimanjaro! Danielle goes for broke in breaking down all of the excuses we pad our lives with as we avoid the pain and work of being authentic.
Twenty years ago, the breakaway best-seller, The Artist’s Way changed my life. Today, it’s Fire Starter Sessions, it’s the big girl’s version of the Artist’s Way. Read the full review.

No Depth? Hardly the case! How Deep Are You Willing to Go?
The depth of The Fire Starter Sessions lies in the willingness to mine these questions raised in each of the 16 sessions. I have 17 pages I’ve written and I am just starting Session 3. I am doing this as part of a woman’s group and I have seen profound changes in the two women who have completed the book. I find that the questions are simple. It is the answer that is complex. I will read one of the questions and walk away thinking it’s too simple, or hard, or I just don’t feel like it but the question continues to perculate and I write and write as the ahaaaa’s continue. Some of them not so pretty…but that’s part of the exercise. The Fire Starter Sessions is a gold mine….how deep are you willing to go for the gold? Read the full review.

Refreshingly different. I am thrilled to have such a strong *female* role model!
This book is gorgeous. From the design, to the type, to what the words say. It’s so beautiful and filled with quick inspiration, that you could use it as a coffee table book – and I probably will, once I’m done with it. What better thing to give your guests than inspiration?
It’s written from a really unique perspective. Danielle is a hugely successful person of impeccable integrity and yet someone I can still relate to, someone I could see myself hanging out with – so much more so than any self-help author I’ve ever read. She’s honest, down-to-earth, and writes in a colloquial style that makes you feel like you’re having a conversation with her. I’m thrilled to have such a strong female role model.

Insightful, A Surprise
I am usually immediately turned-off by books about personal success involving the word “soulful.” (It’s right there in the title itself.) But Danielle’s book, unlike other self-help books, or, like the best kinds of self-help books, is grounded in the current but based on timeless wisdom. The Fire Starter Sessions is like a simultaneous boot to the butt and face. Get up, do something. Life will happen. Let this book help you let life happen. Read the full review.

A Book of Inspiration and Magic
…this is a magic book, or at least it was for me. The first night I started to read it, I made it through the first 37 pages then put it down by my bedside and fell asleep. I had vivid dreams throughout the night, weaving in some of the most beloved people in my life. When I awoke, one phrase from my dream was crystal clear: The world needs you to radiate.
There ain’t no bull shizzle underneath these bright orange covers. Lots of wisdom, love and generosity shared here. Read the full review.

A life-changing dose of actionable inspiration
This is a book worth owning if you feel stuck, have a nagging feeling that you’re not living your purpose, desire change but don’t know where to start, need a major kick in the pants (or a gentle nudge forward), have a passion you want to pursue, or basically, if you have a pulse at all. Just read it. I believe in this book’s power to shift minds and create fires that result in a changed world. For the better. Read the full review.

Whether you are just starting out, full of possibility, or you feel like you’re at a crossroads, stuck in a creative rut, and ready to make changes, LaPorte’s book could be just the ticket. You might find a few pearls of wisdom that’ll help you see more clearly, and move forward with action. Of course, to really benefit from the book, you have to do some “homework.” It helped me to read through it once, then go back through and revisit the worksheets: lists to write, big questions to ponder.

Strike a spark
This isn’t your typical “how to succeed” book. There’s no counsel on how to climb the corporate ladder, no suggestions on how you to manage your time more effectively, and no lists of habits you should adopt to boost your overall usefulness. In fact, this book will tell you to pretty much forget all the rules you were taught and to follow your gut.
I absolutely adore The Fire Starter Sessions. Its message is equally applicable whether you are head of a Fortune 500 company or a housewife. It is, quite simply, a heartfelt battle cry to follow your own unique passion. Read the full review.

This book is alchemy
Danielle LaPorte’s work is about so much more than pandering to some affirmations and calling it a day. She doesn’t want you to just feel light n’ fluffy – she also wants you to see the results you want to see, whether that’s cash in hand, achieving a long-awaited dream, or simply living in the satisfaction of having played life right up to your own personal edge, and then risked going even beyond that.
The Fire Starter Sessions gets real, gets human, gets pragmatic, and then adds in the right amount of soul. This isn’t just a book, it’s a game-changer. Read the full review.

Spunky!
It is described on the first page as “The new, bad-*** Artist’s Way” and it is! If you’re looking for something to help fan the flames of creativity, this is a great book. Her writing style is personable and edgy. Read the full review.

Not your run of the mill self-help book
But the book, itself, is a keeper and is worth the money. There are 16 sessions that take an earnest look at who and where you are, what you want and then realistic steps to get there. Regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in, this book can help you establish a plan to move forward toward a healthier life. Read the full review.

Love this woman!
Most of us have been so surrounded by mission statements, corporate visions, and fake values for so long, we are dying for the real thing. Here it is. The white hot truth. The obvious, the sensible, the real. The aha moment. Actually, the breakthrough you have been waiting for. Read the full review.
If this doesn’t motivate you to take action to create the life you want, nothing will.
This is a book I could read over and over after the initial read. It’s also one of those books filled with “Yes. Yes. YES!” and “Ah-Ha!” moments. (I stopped highlighting when I realized I was pretty much highlighting every line.)
As the subtitle says, it IS both a soulful and practical guidebook. It’s rare to see such a combination. Most books of this type are either/or and while inspiring on some levels, nowhere near as realistic as one needs to “Be” in the world we live in now. Read the full review.

Want to set your life + work on fire
There is no way you can read this book and not start taking action. From the preface chapters that give you permission to start making your own way to your dream to the last pages that give you the bottom-line secret to success (it’s simpler than you’d think, but harder than you can imagine), every step between your life now and the life you want to live is spelled out with a raging spirituality and enlightening practicality that the author is known for. You’ll burn, but it’s a good burn. A clarifying fire. One that reminds you who you really are. Read the full review.
