Where Will You Go from Here?: Moving Forward When Life Doesn't Go as Planned Paperback – 21 June 2011

An excellent self-coaching book! No matter what your setback is, you will find this book empowering, enlightening, and encouraging. You may have lost your job; you may have gotten divorced; you may have had a tragic accident - to say this book is useful for any setback is an understatement.This is a thorough book, which includes how to catch negative thinking; how to recognize how your emotions factor, how to figure out your next move; and much more. The author includes wisdom from psychologists, as well as the Bible. Each chapter ends with a prayer that is devoted to the topic of the chapter. Even more, the author is not condescending, and is realistic and encourages the reader to remain realistic and flexible with goals.This is not a book that simply addresses feel good Bible verses. This is truly a highly useful book to get your life back on track, no matter what your setback is. The author starts the book with 5 key commitments you need to make to yourself to start you on the road to recovery. Here are the commitments, which are explained and in the very first chapter:1. I will not feel sorry for myself.2. I will not stare at the closed door.3. I will dig deep to unearth the courage I need.4. I will direct my thoughts - my thoughts will not direct me.5. I will choose to believe that all things work together for good.Using real life examples from the author's life, as well as others she has coached, this book is fantastic. The author is very realistic as to how you will most likely feel during the process of your comeback - such as, why don't I feel better, now? I highly recommend this book to everyone.I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review. This in no way influenced my review.

This is great book! If you are or even have gone thru any form of setback and you need to reformulate your 'game plan' in life this book is for you. She is a great writer that anyone over 14 can use to get to a better place when things have not gone your way. Another book that she wrote, Get Unstuck, Be Unstoppable,, is great for helping you get outof that rut and move forward. The 2 books together made me decide to go backTo college after getting my Nursing degree 30 years ago! I reomend this book and suggest anyone get it,get it for a friend , just get it.

Book gives useful and practical ideas and guidelines towards dealing with all different setbacks in life. Our church small group is using it as a follow-up after studying "Understanding Your Grief" by Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D. It is a practical "positive" while dealing with one of the most depressing facts of life.

I have read most of Valorie Burton's books and this latest one did not disappoint me. She shares her personal experience in a way that is encouraging and helpful. I recommend this book to anyone who is facing a new challenge and could use direction.

I have heard Valorie speak and receive her weekly newsletters, and happen to share the point of life's journey Valorie is currently expereiencing, so I couldn't wait to receive the book when it came out. I was not disappointed. Valorie's biblical foundation, coupled with her thought process and writing flow spoke to just what I needed. The book is one I will keep for reference since this is not the first curve in the road for me and I know it won't be the last! Thanks, Valorie, for again sharing with us what God has done in your life.
