The art of an inner compass is outlined in 52 lessons and excercies in this gem from Lynn Robinson. Life is meant to be lived and it is best lived when you navigate the seas of walking on earth. So few people understand the critical importance of being tuned into our inner wisdom. How do we start in a cranial world of logic and reason? Our intuition and through developing it as our ally in choice-making. Compass of the Soul provides techniques that strengthen our intuitive voice and our capacity to trust ourselves. Robinson is a masterful teacher who helps students understand the delicate balance of blending our intuition with intellect. This is practical, do-able, and for those of us who live in reality. Robinson is no nonsense and there is no "scary spooky" language in her writings. Overall, keep this compass handy so you can always tune into your very own North Star, and steer the course.

This was a tremendous help in agonizing a decision. One option looked good but felt terrible. Another was ok but felt like the lesser of two evils. I went with the latter and just couldn't shake a sense of regret that I erred in my choice. A few months later I ran into a friend of a friend who was familiar with the two organizations involved. Our conversation resulted in my negative vibes being verified 100%. It was errie and it was frightening to listen to my inner compass. But once this truth was revealed, I knew that I had made the right choice to walk away and ended up sparing myself some real stress. Now I trust myself much more than before and leave second guessing out of it.

Other books to consider: Finding Your North Star by Martha Beck, The Intuitive Way by Penney Peirce, The Psychci Pathway by Sonia Choquette, and The Vein of Gold by Julia Cameron. For those with a shamanic/Native American interest you can also look at Anam Cara (Celtic ways), and What We Ache For by Oriah Moutain Dreamer.

The one big thing I can say about this book is that I wish I had it in high school. It would have been SO helpful to me when I was trying to figure out what direction to go in. Now I'm in my 20s and I'm just glad it's out there because it's a huge help and I can definitely feel my life starting to change. When I'm reading it I feel like the author is a friendly teacher, right there beside me, giving me tips on how to get a great grade. I can tell you from personal experience that Miss Robinson is the best teacher I ever had.

"Compass of the Soul" is a great name for this guidebook to a better life. It refers to intuition - our "direction from within" - which is something I found easy to relate to because I believe in gut instinct. When I put to use what I learned from the short chapters and easy exercises, I was genuinely surprised at how quickly I could bring about positive change. The author has an engaging and humorous style of writing, and for skeptics like me, it doesn't hurt that her approach is sensible and realistic. Just one thing -- I wish she'd written it sooner.

My husband used to tease me about the "women's books" I was always reading. So the other day when I found "Compass of the Soul" lying on top of the Sunday sports section, I knew I had him. At dinner, I told him my intuition had informed me that someone besides me was reading a "woman's book" with a golden cover. He put down his forkful of spaghetti, looked me straight in the eye, and told me I was right and he wanted to talk about it. We did. And now he wants to read the author's previous book, "Divine Intuition." Go figure. Guess I'll have to check out the sports pages now. Conclusion: This is an inspiring guide for anyone of any gender who wants to start living their dreams. I especially recommend it for couples. 

I wish I could find a self help book that would offer a cure for my self-help-book addiction. But until I do I'm glad I didn't, because I would have missed this wonderfully readable guide to happiness. "Compass of the Soul" absolutely energized me from the inside out. I usually take my time with this kind of book, but the author's way of writing is so downright delectable, I couldn't put it down until I ate the whole thing. Small, bite-size chapters. Easy-to-digest exercises. All in all, a totally tasty feast from a delightful master chef. Lynn Robinson, I thank you. And my soul thanks you, too. We're both looking forward to your next creation!

Compass of the Soul has inspired me to begin a journey of transforming what I considered an unfulfilling and undirected life into one charged with optimism and confidence. Lynn Robinson's unique approach to personal growth imparts her profound wisdom to both inspire and guide her readers in clarifying their personal dreams, affirming their goals, and guiding them along the path to self-actualization.

This is a great book and reminds me of everything I need to touch base with. I love that you can pick it up at any chapter. I love the way Lynn made it short and to the point, but full of meaning.

This book was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is very compassionate with great ideas and much wisdom. Thank you to Lynn Robinson for a wonderful, thoughtful, invaluable book that really makes you think and change your life for the better. I encourage anyone to read this book. There is no one who could not benefit from this marvelous book.

The most striking thing about Lynn Robinson's work, besides that it is among the most intelligent writing on the topic of intuition, is that her books provide both practical advice and inspirational original ideas. After working with "Compass of the Soul," I notice that life moves more smoothly and I am less of a "drag" against the winds of change. I guess it's going with the flow, versus being a stick in the mud!

I recommend this book, as well as her other beautiful book "Divine Intuition" heartily.
