my first Amazon review is in! 5 twinklin’ stars. oh yeahhh.
Amazon has book review program called “Vine” whereby regular reviewers can request advance copies of books to review on the site. They aren’t paid, and they’re not required to give “positive” reports. My first review is in. I cried.
5 out of 5 stars. Want to set your life + work on fire?
February 23, 2012 I By Elizabeth Metz “Muse”
First, a disclaimer: I’ve got a preview copy, so there may be minor differences between this review and the final product in April. It seems pretty complete, both in content and formatting, so it probably won’t be all that much different, but just in case, there you have it.
That said, I’m a long-time reader of White Hot Truth, and have the Spark Kit, which is the $150 program on which this book is based. If any of you are also readers, and are wondering if this book is different enough than the kit to be worth buying, I’ll tell you right now: it’s worth every penny. In fact, it might actually be better than the Spark Kit (sorry, Danielle…), since it seems to go in much more depth in a few practical areas.
If you haven’t seen the original Spark Kit, know this:
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’s known for.
You’ll burn, but it’s a good burn. A clarifying fire. One that reminds you who you really are.
The Fire Starter Sessions is separated into three sections: Mojo, Moxie, and Results. MOJO deals with who you are and what you want. MOXIE covers productive dreaming and the often-hard parts that everyone faces once they know where they want to go. RESULTS takes all the dreaming and planning and puts it to work, redefining everything from marketing to your relationship with money, and sends you off to do the work you were put on this earth to do, that only you can do. Each chapter (there are several in each section) has not only the clear, soul-full writing and perceptive advice that LaPorte’s known for, but also has worksheets to help you take that knowledge and make it your own. Apply it to your own journey. Take everything to the next step. It flows so easily that it’s easy to forget you’re building a kind of explosively powerful fire under your own tailfeathers.
As if that’s not enough: The Fire Starter Sessions is more than just a book. The preview copy I have is vague, with notes about what’s to come — but the FSS experience is multimedia. There looks to be an online component to enhance the content within. From a forum to video content to a downloadable version of the worksheets in the book, all the fires don’t go out when you close the cover at the end. There’s even instructions on finding or starting your own Fire Starter Groups locally, to find other people who want to take their own paths to what they’ve always wanted.
I can’t recommend this book (and experience) highly enough. Preorder it. Buy an extra one to give to a friend. Pick up enough to share with everyone you know who needs more passion and permission to build a life that’s made just for them.
