Product Description
In the tradition of her bestseller, Finding Your Own North Star, Oprah Magazine columnist Martha Beck reconnects readers with their best destinies. Described as one of the best-known life coaches in America in media such as Psychology Today, NPR, and USA Today, Martha Beck has demonstrated a rare gift for helping people whose lives have gone off course find their way back to authentic, rewarding lives. Now, in Steering by Starlight: Find Your Right Life, No Matter What!, Martha Beck describes the step-by-step process she uses with her private clients to help them navigate the terrain of their best lives. Bringing together cutting-edge research in psychiatry, neurology, and related fields in an accessible, substantive, original way, Dr. Beck offers powerful new methods for solving the problems that beset ordinary people. Using her trademark wisdom, empathy, and engaging style, she connects readers with fresh, never-before published strategies that have proven most effective and efficient for the hundreds of people she has coached. For readers who have found their North Stars, this book will be an invaluable tool to stay the course and overcome obstacles. For those who still feel adrift, it will provide a way to find true North and follow the path of best destiny. Dr. Beck identifies three stages along the path to recapturing a satisfying life:-“the stargazer” helps readers understand why it’s so easy to lose themselves and offers strategies for sighting their North Star-“the mapmaker” uses this newly clarified perspective to evaluate one’s situation and plot a course for upcoming years-“the pathfinder” discusses the adventures that may be encountered as one travels along this new life course Whether it’s seeking better relationships, more focused career direction, the achievement of specific fitness goals, or a more harmonious lifestyle, Steering by Starlight’s colorful anecdotes, case studies, and exercises will point the way.

 Life-changing attitudes
This is the best book I have ever read for motivating people to live their lives fully, in the present moment, and totally at their essence. Martha Beck is brilliant - she lets the wisdom of the universe flow through her and uses it to enlighten and uplift others. And she does it unpretentiously, with humor,, creativity and understanding. She speaks to your soul. Wonderful. Thank you Martha.

Try Pairing with North Star ( apostrophe_nette )
i notice many didn't care for this. it sounds like a follow up to North Star so if they haven't read that 1st....
I haven't read this - but North star SAVED MY LIFE. Also - i was in the place to change - i had hit rock bottom, THEN picked up the book. If you are already on your true path, you probably don't need Martha's kind of help. Lucky you!
In my review of North * i note the best part was the map of change and the "yes, changing will SUCK - but it can be ok!" - nice change from all the other help books that just tell you to manage better.
In saving my life, I have lost much. A marriage, a custom home, a cross country move, friends, health care providers, church, book club. But now, after 2 years - I think it will be worth it - i am much happier and getting healthier. But i am sooooo glad Martha warned me and helped me think it through properly - BEFORE I made risky choices!

This book is the best self-help book ever. ( knickandchester )
I am in the midst of the most turbulent changes of my life. As I had been nearing some options for decisions, my body would become tight, pained, or just plain anxious. My mind wanted to go one way, and my spirit another. It just left me plain confused about what the heck was going on. I never watch Oprah anymore, but in looking at the schedule I decided to record one on the laws of attraction. This positive thinking has always bugged me because it seemed to cast blame if challenge happened in life like if a person got cancer, it must be something they thought of or did to create it. Martha Beck was on that show talking about Steering by Starlight. She is the first person who I have found who basically has had challenge in life and then reflected on ways to think to go through the process so that a person can see the value in the challenge. She embraces emotion and shows how to work with it. Steering by Starlight is amazing and has been heaven sent to me. It has been my user's manual for life challenge. She explains the dreams, coincidences, feelings, and conflicts that happen when a person is in the midst of their life falling apart. It is like advice from the really wise friend you have always wanted. I bought the CD and listen to it all the time as I drive. I have bought the book for four different friends. I cannot recommend this book enough.

 False Hope
I read it and did the exercises. It's one of those self help books where the author says one thing in one chapter and then unsays it later in another. If her advice doesn't work it's not her fault, it's yours. She doesn't agree with the "Secret's" premise that our thoughts become our reality which I give her credit for. But while all of this has made a nice career experience for her, it doesn't really help. We already know to think positive and keep going. It's murky enough so that you don't know for sure it's psychobabble until the end.
