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.
And after these straight-talking sermons and burning questions about your truest desires — from career to relationships — you’ll be clear that the only permission you need to shine … is your own.
THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS reframes popular self-help and success concepts to cut through dull thinking and fear, and get straight to one’s core desires, pragmatism, and courage — and burn some illusions to a crisp…
: Being well-rounded is highly over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths you enter your mastery zone.
: Screw your principles, well, some of them. (They might be holding you back.)
: We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on 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.
: 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 happen — and you do it all the time, naturally.
: 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.
Each session in the book is accompanied by worksheets that are provocative and results-oriented. We’ll talk about contradictions — you should leverage them. And money — how much do you want… and why? And soul — what else is there? And ground it all in the practical how-to’s of getting what you want. Because theories are nothing without intelligent action.
This is an inquiry into You, with proof-of-theory vignettes to keep you inspired along the way. My own personal narrative of loss and achievement — from boardrooms to ashrams — flows with stories of women and men who stopped playing it safe, deepened their commitment to their soul, and became freedom seekers and fear tamers. Bright.
You’re next.

questions + answers
How is the book different from “The Spark Kit” e-program that you self-published?
The hardcover edition is richer in content, a strikingly well-designed 328 pages, and available with many e-tailers for only $15. It’s more “life” inspiration and a less marketing-how-to than The Spark Kit was. I’ve got new success stories, more anecdotal lessons, refreshed worksheets and entirely new Sessions that round out the entire experience.
Even if you have The Spark Kit, THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS will feel like a new, sensory experience, like when The Wizard of Oz goes from black & white to vivid technicolor. Ya, like that.
When will I receive my book(s)?
Books will ship from online retailers and will go on bookshelves on April 17.
When will my hot bundle of tattoo + notecard + magnet arrive?
It will be mailed directly from my publisher, so give it two weeks to get to your door.
Are there Fire Starter “groups” to join?
Nothing formal, but groups already seem to be popping up on Facebook and in living rooms from Toronto to Melbourne. In the coming weeks I’ll be launching a free Camp Fire Guide for you to use to coordinate discussions.
How do I get more information if I want to blog or write about THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS?
We’ve got this handy FOR BLOGGERS + THE MEDIA section.
What countries is the book available in?
Canada and the US are selling the book online and in stores. The UK, Australia and India will release THE FIRE STARTER SESSIONS later in 2012!
