Publisher's summary

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.

MUST Read/Listen!

Absolutely wonderful! Danielle LaPorte is insightful and enlightened, but extremely real and relate-able. I also bought the hardcover book, and I'm going to make this a quarterly listen/read. Poignant and powerful - plus LaPorte has a great reading voice!

Simply awesome!!

As for the content, reading/listening to this is an eye-opening experince with the potencial of being a life changing one! for me it was so I'll be recomending this book for a long time.

I read the first chapter of the print version of this book (it's available for free on daniellelaporte.com) and it was great but I have to say that listening to this book narrated by the writter itself it's fantastic!! Why? Because you get to listen the emotions and enfasis she puts behind the words so you get the info as she intended to, so I think this fact takes this book to another level.

Well, having said that I would also say that sometimes the same audio nature of this piece makes it difficult to diggest the info and belive me, there is a lot to diggest, so I found myself pausing and replaying a lot! So this is definitely something to consider. My personal opinion is that the replaying and pausing it's totally worth it.

If you do buy this audiobook make sure you download the pdf that comes with it (It's a workbook that normally comes as part of the print version), although this workbook is read as part of the audiobook it's definitely useful to have it written.

This entire book was sooo good. And even better hearing the author read it herself so beautifully. This is one I will return to over and over again.
Thank you, Danielle!
