Too often today, we feel like our lives are out of our control. Someone else is calling the shots, and we're just doing our best to get by. We have to work to make a living, take care of our families and just do what needs to be done. There's very little time left over for personal fulfillment. Life is the way it is and there's nothing we can do about it. What if someone told you that wasn't true? That our lives are our responsibility and everyone has the power to change their life for the better, regardless of their current situation? That is exactly what Kara Lane shows us in Wake Up to Powerful Living: 12 Principles to Transform Your Life. In simple terms, she explains the principles that can help anyone stop sleepwalking their way through life and start living the life of their dreams. Peace and happiness are available to all of us; we just need someone to show us the way.

This is a book you'll want to refer to again and again as you begin your personal transformation. It's the guide you wish you'd been given at birth, full of timeless wisdom to help you live your life to the fullest. You'll be able to begin making changes immediately as you come to realize you have the ability to create a life that is personally fulfilling.

This review is from: Wake Up to Powerful Living: 12 Principles to Transform Your Life! (Paperback)

I love this book! It is a wonderful introduction to leading a healthy life on many levels.

It reminded me to take stock of my life. To make sure that I'm living the life I want to live. To ensure I'm not just floating down stream accepting whatever is handed to me. I want to make conscious choices, choices that I will be pleased I made years from now.

So many things are easy to forget, like how important it is to forgive. We can never be truely happy when we are angry, and I know forgiveness has been an important part of my healing journey.

Then of course, there is the reminder to lighten up and enjoy life. I felt like my mom was still alive and talking to me. It's so easy to take yourself too seriously, and feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Sometimes just hearing a good joke, or seeing a funny movie can be amazingly healing. Thank you for the reminder.

There are other good principles in the book, those are just a few that stood out to me. It was also a quick read, which I always like. I have already recommended it to several friends.

This review is from: Wake Up to Powerful Living: 12 Principles to Transform Your Life! (Paperback)

Wake Up to Powerful Living is an outstanding book. The author summarizes the key principles for living fully and does it in a very easy to read format (less than a 100 pages). The 12 Principles are the foundation for living life to our fullest. I don't know anyone who wouldn't benefit from this very profound yet very quick read. I have already purchased it for a couple of people in my life who I believe will enjoy the very powerful messages in the book. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, November 12, 2007

This review is from: Wake Up to Powerful Living: 12 Principles to Transform Your Life! (Paperback)

Wake Up to Powerful Living reminds us to live our lives mindfully, rather than sleepwalking through our time here on earth. And I really like that the book was inspirational, without being preachy.

At first, I found myself thinking of other people I know that could use the principles in this book. But then I realized that it was a good reminder for me, too. The principle on taking control of your thinking really hit home. It's easy to forget that our thoughts are creative, and that sooner or later what we focus on the most is what's going to show up in our life. I have only to look at my own life for confirmation of that principle!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to live their best possible life!
