With a 4.6-star rating from nearly 1,500 reviews, this book offers a scientifically grounded, step-by-step roadmap for millennials seeking meaningful transformation and alignment with their deepest desires. ## Description New York Times bestselling author and Life Designs, Inc. creator Martha Beck shares her step-by-step program that will guide you to fulfill your own potential and create a joyful life. In this book, you'll start by learning how to read the internal compasses already built into your brain and body--and why you may have spent your life ignoring their signals. As you become reacquainted with your own deepest desires, you'll identify and repair any unconscious beliefs or unhealed emotional wounds that may be blocking your progress. This will change your life, but don't worry--although every life is unique, major transformations have common elements, and Beck provides a map that will guide you through your own life changes. You'll learn how to navigate every stage, from the first flickering appearance of a new dream to the planning and implementation of your own ideal life. Based on Dr. Beck's work as a Harvard-trained sociologist, research associate at Harvard Business School, instructor at Thunderbird Business School, and especially on her experiences with her clients over the last six years, Finding Your Own North Star offers thoroughly tested case studies, questionnaires, and exercises to help you articulate your core desires and act on them to build a more satisfying life. “Explorers depend on the North Star when there are no other landmarks in sight. The same relationship exists between you and your right life, the ultimate realization of your potential for happiness. I believe that a knowledge of that perfect life sits inside you just as the North Star sits in its unaltering spot.” -- Martha Beck Review: I Listen to my body - My husband had a horrible low wage job. I was exhausted all the time because he dropped me off at my work super early in the morning, so he could get to his job early. One night, I couldn't sleep. I was tired of being tired all the time, and unable to sleep on top of it. I thought, "What if my husband quit his job and devoted his time and energy to serving me while starting his own business?" I felt a gasp in my stomach, like, "I want this." I approached him with the idea, and he was so grateful. He quit his nightmare job. As I am lazing around in bed writing this review, he is hanging my clothes up in my closet. It will be rough living on my wages while he gets his business going, but the fact that I will get more sleep and have more energy is priceless, as is the fact that he won't be upset on a daily basis over the treatment he got at his workplace. His admiring friends asked him, "what was your inspiration and motivation to start your own business?" He nodded towards me and said, "She is my inspiration and motivation." This is obviously not everyone's North Star. But the book helped me pay attention to my feelings, which I've always overlooked. My head makes decisions that got me a mostly mediocre to not-very-good life. I'm going with my gut now. On the last day of his former job, my husband called and asked me if he should give one of his superiors a business card to his new business. This man had caused him grief in the past. My head immediately went to, "Yes, the guy is loaded and that's potentially more business." But I spoke from my heart and gut. I said, "If you're questioning it, then no. This is about living the lives we want. We don't want any negative aspects." My husband agreed, and did not give his work-superior his business card. We've decided that our health and emotional well beings are worth more than my husband's low paying job that made both of us miserable. And my husband is a neat-freak who doesn't mind cleaning and hanging my clothes. He has 3 freelance jobs lined up already, and more on the way, making twice as much money in half the time. Every day he thanks me for making his dream come true, while he is making MY dreams come true...I don't have to do things I don't like, like hanging my clothes up, and I can go to work at a later time, get more sleep, and not be exhausted every day. We are more in tune with each other, and more considerate of each others' feelings, because we are working towards a greater good. Reading the book gave me a different perspective. My entire life before was about doing what I thought was right, versus going by my heart. Doing The Right Thing got me a life of exhaustion and misery. Going by my heart and gut is taking me to better places. I'll gladly give up a Starbucks Coffee and recreational shopping for things to make me feel better-- because when I get enough sleep and my husband dotes on me, I FEEL BETTER AND DON'T NEED TO BUY THINGS TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. It's a little bit scary because he will be freelancing, and we don't know when the jobs will come in until he has a clientele. But the freedom from the burden of his previous, horrible horrible job is worth it. Not to mention, in his free time, while he's not working, it's all about taking care of me. I have to thank Martha for writing the book because it put my life and desires in a whole different perspective. Instead of how do I survive, it's more about how do I thrive. She is so inspirational and voice of truth. I reccommend this book. It speaks to that part of you that you've spent your whole life shutting up. Review: BEST self-help book I have read… - And I have read a lot of them. Maybe it was the combination of all of those that made me ready to take in this incredible book in such a life changing way. I can’t be sure. But I do know that small changes I have already made are improving my life a big ways! I love that there is a mix of science and wisdom from great spiritual leaders. There are several exercises built in so you can actually do the work while reading vs only being given a testimonial based on case studies. I enjoyed the humor and personality of the author that came through the words. It was far from a dull read. Highly recommend, but only if you feel called to read it. ## Features - Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #72,013 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #642 in Personal Finance (Books) #644 in Happiness Self-Help #820 in Success Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,498 Reviews | ## Images ![Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61c1zJ9gnJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Listen to my body *by A***R on October 7, 2012* My husband had a horrible low wage job.

Maybe it was the combination of all of those that made me ready to take in this incredible book in such a life changing way. I can’t be sure. But I do know that small changes I have already made are improving my life a big ways! I love that there is a mix of science and wisdom from great spiritual leaders. There are several exercises built in so you can actually do the work while reading vs only being given a testimonial based on case studies. I enjoyed the humor and personality of the author that came through the words. It was far from a dull read. Highly recommend, but only if you feel called to read it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get therapy first. Then read this book. *by D***A on August 17, 2009* I read this twice. Once before therapy, once after. Before therapy, I couldn't put any of her methods to use, since I couldn't see clearly--many of my thoughts/beliefs were an attempt to please the "everybodies" that Beck talks about. I couldn't even admit to myself that I really did hate my job (also an academic PhD, but in science). Multiple times she suggests therapy for readers if they can't do particular exercises. Do it! After a short time of coaching and therapy I was finally able to acknowledge to myself that I was stuck in my career because I really didn't like it, and it just didn't fit me...I could understand and accept my feelings better. Then I was able to pick up this book again and read it--now it makes more sense. If you are able to really access your feelings, then just read it...but if you feel murky and unsure of how you feel, just reading this book won't clear things up for you on its own...but it is a great tool to be used on your career/life journey. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8018385-finding-your-own-north-star-claiming-the-life-you-were](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8018385-finding-your-own-north-star-claiming-the-life-you-were) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
