Uplifting and Liberating

Julie Belmont's The Path to Personal Success and Freedom, Turning Hurdles into Stepping Stones, is not a self-help book in the slick tradition of the "you are your own best friend" bestsellers intended to mine public uncertainty for profit. Ms. Belmont's book is heartfelt and positive, not just life-directed but life-affirming-and based on the realities we face every time we look into a mirror. We are not only our own best friend, she says, but our own worst enemy. Until we face that reality and defeat the enemy within, we will never live up to our full potential. How do we undertake this process? With a step-by-step approach that includes interviews with individuals successful in health care and wellness, business, and the arts, The Path to Personal Success and Freedoms guides us through exercises to identify and separate the negative messages and influences in our lives from the positive. Furthermore, it establishes a framework within which the positives can thrive as the negatives wither. Particularly satisfying are the many opportunities for the reader to write his or her own goals and establish personal affirmations tailored to the individual's needs and dreams. Thus, while it reflects its author's beliefs and sensibilities, the book also serves as a mirror for the reader to study the self and find his or her truest and most productive face. Honest and refreshing, The Path to Personal Success and Freedom is a worthy read for both the searching and the cynical. Julie Belmont is a real person with real concerns who addresses the need of real people to find liberation and fulfillment. Well done. Gary Earl Ross, author and playwright

This book gets you Going and Taking Action!

This book is short, simple, concise and to the point. I read it in one evening and started implementing the tactics into my life the very next day. I am amazed about the positive changes it has brought about. I find taking action is so much easier then procrastinating and having to deal with yet another day of guilt. It makes a great reference book to keep me on track. I want more books from this author, she writes as if she is talking to a friend. I love that!

Good for the Soul

Take the challenge to begin the process towards living your dreams more fully. This book is the recipe for success. Don't waste any more time waiting. Begin today, begin with this book!!!!

Small Book With Big (and Powerful) Ideas

Finally, someone has put the things we need to know about how to do more, have more, be more into a format that is easy to read and easy to understand. Julie's book is a blessing for those of us who simply want to know what we need to do to get where we want to go. This book can be read in a couple of hours and for the busy person (and who isn't busy?) this is a Godsend. Great book!
