Who should read this book?

If any of these statements sound familiar, this is for you:

• You know what you don't want but struggle to be clear about what you do want.
• You could do almost anything but you end up doing almost nothing because you lack the certainty to pick something.
• You don't like where you are but can't figure out where you should be.
• You know you are holding yourself back but you are not sure from what.
• You have let others make the bigger decisions about your life; you suspect you might be coasting.
• You carry a vague but pressing feeling that there is something else for you, if only you could know what it is.
• When asked what you want, your mind goes blank or your heart starts racing.
• You're facing a big decision and you don't know what to do or you have a feeling you might know but are afraid of the answer.
• You're scared of making the changes that you know you could be making.
• Somehow, you know that your life would be different if only you could work out what you wanted.
