Developing Self Awareness
Managing My Career & Body Book Reviews

You're deepening and developing self awareness and self care habits by consciously managing your career and your body. Your Goal: To Wake Up Eager more often!

These books have been important in my quest for developing self awareness around my career and body. Each book has touched me, felt like a friend, answered questions and served as self help courses of encouragement, wisdom, insight and inspiration.

As you read these book reviews I hope they're a part of gaining self confidence and even more excitement about yourself and your life.

I know you'll love them as much as I have.

This book is my go-to workout inspiration "bible".

The author is so smart and so dedicated to fitness, health, setting goals and living fully, that you can't help but be "pulled" positively into developing self awareness and self care habits.

This eBook is cool it covers every aspect of self care and you can download it and start using the wonderful insight, knowledge and inspiration, immediately.

There's a reason that this book is one of the bestsellers ever, on the internet. Read my full review, here.

This book started a whole movement of people making dramatic physical changes in 12 weeks.

It complements Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. He also includes fitness routines, food plans and a focus on your mindset.

Both books help you figure out how to eat clean and work out effectively.

Both books provide insight into lifestyle changes, not short term not-able-to-live-with-diets. There's no reason to starve, just eat the right things.

I eat this way and I'm never hungry AND I'm able to stay lean.

Both books help with developing self awareness and self care habits.

The neat thing in the Body For Life book is all of the personal stories of people from all sizes, shapes and interests who've made transformations.

I find others stories, real people, very inspiring.

The Success Journal is good too. I used that for a while. It's a great way to track and keep yourself focused and accountable.

And I also bought the Champions for Life book when it came out in 2008.

More great stories of people and tons of success secrets and reminders to help us all continue gaining self confidence and consistency.

This book is perfect as you are deepening and developing self awareness and self care habits because if you put it to use, you'll be eating healthy with ease, AND saving money.

In every fitness book, every author recommends that you eat small meals more often throughout the day. This keeps your metabolism stoked and helps you have enough energy to work out.

This is great because you're never hungry. And it will absolutely melt the fat away and increase your energy.

BUT the problem, once you fully 'get' this eating healthy concept, is you don't have time to get the food ready.

THIS book is the answer to that problem.

Check out my full review here. It's also one you can download and begin using IMMEDIATELY.

When I'm not using the The Easy Does It Cook Book I'm using this one.

Another product from Body For Life. It includes great pictures, clear directions and complete healthy meals.

My husband's a picky eater - and he'll eat everything out of this book. The ingredients are "normal" (meaning, not hard to find).

The meals are tasty - I love the Chicken Parmigiana - in fact, I'm making that tonight!

The breakfast options are great - love the protein pancakes.

You really do not have to starve - these two cook books: Easy Does It and Eating for Life are worthy of your book shelf. Get them if you're serious about keeping and developing self awareness and self care habits.

A big part of developing self awareness and self care habits is to feel good about who you are and how you look no matter where you go.

Isaac takes 8 women and helps them find their style. You'll know why I love and recommend this book, as you read Isaac's preface, the first page in the book,

Before you can think about having style, you have to learn to look in the mirror and like what you see. Too many woman are taught to hate the way they look and are encouraged to change everything about themselves from their lips to their bust sizes. This is not that kind of book.

I can give you all my style tips and ideas about your hair. makeup and dress, but none of this is going to do anything for you if you don't learn to accept and love who you are... That's what How to Have Style is about: reinforcing everything about you that is already beautiful and reminding yourself so many times that eventually you believe that you're beautiful without me or anyone else telling you so. It sounds too easy, but accentuating what's right about you is probably harder than remedying what's wrong. Try it and keep doing it. That's the best style advice I can give anyone."

Yep, That's "our" Isaac. Love him and this book. Get it.

This book is important if you are not sleeping well.

How can you stay focused on developing self awareness and self care habits and wake up eager if you're physically exhausted?

This robust, well organized book will help you get back to sleep! It has insights and information I'd never heard before - and it really makes sense.

There's worksheets and planning guidesand practical tips galore. Read my full review, here.

It's alsoneat because if you want it, you can get access IMMEDIATELY. If you want to sleep better, check out this book.

Po travels around the world to interview people who are following their 'True Calling'.

He says, "Passion is infectious - so few people have it for their work that when you glimpse it, it makes an indelible impression."

He listened to over 900 stories and got to know 70 people closely, most of whom he highlights in this book.

The book reveals the real story about people and finding work passion. Some people find great success, some get no where. His writing is amazing.

It's very interesting to get a peek into others lives and journeys, and can really help you as you're deepening and developing self awareness around your life and work passions.

There's wisdom, guidance, empathy and humor in this well written book.

Po offers this sage insight, "We all have passions if we choose to see them. Most of us don't get epiphanies. We don't get clarity. Our purpose doesn't arrive neatly packaged as destiny. We only get a whisper. A blank, nonspecific urge. That's how it starts."

This book is a keeper.

I remember sitting in my car at lunch crying as I read this book. That was 15 years ago.

I had a 'great' job that left me feeling blank and dull.

This book was key in helping me realize that I could create more and different. And I did.

It's updated over the years, but I stillhave my worn-out, marked up copy. Sort of a trophy from my own successful journey toward work and a life that I love.

I count it as one of the best self-help-courses-in-a- book for eveloping self awareness around work and career.

It's not your 'usual' career planning guide. It's about love in action through the sharing of your talents.

Almost makes me 'misty-eyed' again as I look about through it.

His integrated approach to work and spirit is lovely and inspiring. It is chock-full of worksheets and practical exercises to help you guide your own career.

A powerful part of developing self awareness is the ability to have honest and direct conversations when tensions are high.

A person with strong self awareness and developed skill CAN bring people together, without becoming defensive and without making other people defensive.This book mirrors and influences what I teach around the four crucial leadership skills needed for success.

This book shares keen insight into how to prepare for tough conversations. Also, how to transform anger and hurt feelings into dialogue.

The best part of the book, the insight that has really stayed with me, is the idea of Making It Safe and the power of Creating a Shared Pool of Understanding.

Every leader will want to read this book.

My only gripe is that they don't make it easy to implement. That's actually what pushed me to create my own materials.

Nonetheless, it is a powerful and meaningful book.

I liked this book so much that I even called the author. He answered the phone and we had a great conversation! That was years ago...

I use his checklist on this website. It's for seeing how well your current career fits you. You can see that list here.

He provides great step-by-step guides for developing self awareness around your career and goals.

He deftly guides you through the mental and emotional process of making changes. He provides exceptional information around personal marketing, resumes, interviews and more.This is a solid, well-written and inspiring guide for evolving your career.
