Everything Is Figureoutable

August 1, 2019
This book will certainly appeal to the millions of fans who watch life coach Forleo's award-winning show, Marie TV, and listen to her podcast, and to readers who gravitate to self-improvement titles. But it will also please those who fit neither category. Forleo presents the related premises that there is generally a solution to everything, and that beliefs, both conscious and unconscious, determine people's behavior and therefore their circumstances. In plainspoken, and sometimes explicit language, self-described Jersey-girl Forleo outlines the steps necessary to identify and examine these underlying beliefs before meaningful behavioral and life changes can be made. She does acknowledge the existence of societal and external forces, such as racism and sexism, that may prevent readers from achieving change in every area of their lives as she provides a detailed strategy for making meaningful change where possible. Not at all a passive endeavor, reading this book as Forleo intends requires speaking out loud, handwriting answers to questions, and making time for the honest self-reflection necessary to deconstruct foundational beliefs and make lasting change. This will be in demand.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
