Go for your dreams

Awesome book. I have read it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. I was so impressed by this book based on the workshops Gail Blanke's Lifedesigns company does. After reading the book I wanted to go to one of these workshops. There weren't any scheduled in my area, so I called Lifedesigns. They have now scheduled one in NC and I can't wait to experience this book in real life. If you have dreams-read this book and do the exercises.

Great book for moving forward in your life's journey

I have read a number of "self help" books and this one was incredibly solid and practical while making me understand that my wildest dreams are possible. Incredible!!

ABSOLUTELY Fantastic!!!!

This book, and the conference I attended after reading the book, CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! I've literally purchased at least a dozen copies and given them away to women... I want everyone to know this kind of freedom.My husband and children respect me so much MORE because now I'm being true to myself and everyone else.... it's incredible.

Smart, sharp how-to life design for women--and men, too.

Gail Blanke has boiled her Lifedesigns course down into a smart, even dramatic book that tracks a class of female students trying to change their own lives. Blanke, a former Avon executive, fully acknowledges the glass ceiling and disheartening statistics about women's pay scales--but reminds the reader that statistics tell us about the past, not the future. Unlike a lot of motivational books, Blanke talks openly about racism, sexism, and workaholism, but the tone is positive, even uplifting. She urges the reader to see even the skeptics who mock her "wildest dream" as potential allies. The book employs exercises--both written and physical--for getting you into action, ranging from writing down your dreams--to throwing out 50 things. Bottom line is, it works. Since I've started working with the book, I've begun to take better care of myself--and get my work out into the world.
