The Fire Starter Sessions: A Soulful + Practical Guide to Creating Success on Your Own Terms Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

The Fire Starter Sessions is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide to defining success on your own terms. 

As the creator of DanielleLaPorte.com - deemed "the best place online for kick-ass spirituality", Danielle LaPorte’s straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have inspired over one million people. Bold but empathetic, she reframes popular self-help and success concepts: 

  • Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress then the craving for balance itself. 
  • Being well-rounded is overrated. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone. 
  • Screw your principles (they might be holding you back). 

We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to feel in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It's the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it's what leads to true fulfillment. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I purchased the audiobook edition of FSS and loved it. Danielle La Porte provides a fresh perspective on creating the life you want. The book also includes a range of exercises which provided me with much needed clarity on life direction. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh new approach to getting your life on track

This is a well laid out, easy to read book. It's a little bit American (but not overly so). There is lots of white space and clear headings, so although it is a big book it doesn't feel heavy going. There are pages of description of Daniella's concepts - then some self-probing questions - but helpfully also some example answers. Often you think everyone thinks like you, so it is interesting to see 'sample answers' as it probably isn't what you were thinking.

I got about halfway through the book and felt so uplifted, confident and on the right path (totally not how i'd felt just a few weeks before) that I got a new job, feel on top of the world - and obviously am so busy now that haven't got around to finishing it. I know I should!

The main difference with this book is talking about / identifying how you want to feel (as opposed to material goals). This is a new concept for me, and helps me see how everyone has a different version of success, and why it is important to find your own definition, so you can chase that down - not someone else's. Following conventional goals (nice house, nice car - whatever) might not actually make you happy, so you'll spend your life chasing happiness and satisfaction, always finding it elusive. If that sounds like you - this book could really help you unlock what you really want.

Another core aspect of the book is about identifying what you are good at that is unique to you. About pursuing what comes naturally to you, so life doesn't feel like such a slog. It's another nice approach - I wish all kids were brought up to find their natural inner genius, I've always avoided stuff that was easy believing I didn't deserve it, or having learned that 'anything worth having is hard to get' whereas actually maybe where I can add the most value is in stuff that I find easy. That was quite a turning point for me and has helped me embrace who i am, rather than who I think i should be.
