Finding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck

Our book club doesn't usually do self-help books but this one was selected because it is by the author of Expecting Adam which we had all enjoyed. Martha Beck is a life coach and fills her book with lots of stories of clients. The core advice she gives is somewhat like that in The Secret. Figure out what it is you really want, commit to it, take baby steps in the direction of getting there, and watch events fall out in a way that helps you. Some of us in book club thought we were too old to gain much from this kind of advice and didn't need it; but it is well written.
