This is DIY coaching packaged for the 21st-century woman. Describing herself as an ego-driven overachiever who had checked all the boxes of traditional Westernized success, Loder, a leadership and mindfulness expert, wondered why she didn’t feel fulfilled. Years of research, coaching, therapy, and innerworkings led her to develop this book, which is presented as a workbook that attempts to strike a right-brain/left-brain balance by mixing exercises (writing prompts, guided meditations, introspection toolkits, and visioning projects) with real-world anecdotes; and lessons synthesized from other wellness practitioners, all with a dash of spirituality and mysticism. Exercises often start with a prompt for self-analysis (make a list, envision a goal, write a script), which then lead readers to intuition and to asking questions such as: What feels energizing? What does the heart say? A list of resources and chapter notes are included.
VERDICT While not a standout in a sea of similar soul-searching self-help, this could be useful for readers who are unaccustomed to or just sheepish about listening to their inner voice and following their heart.
