Practical insight you can use right now

Ms. Gill's latest book, "Traveling Hopefully", is packed with practical strategies and techniques that will guide readers (yes, even we men) to find direction and purpose on life's journey. I especially like the way Ms. Gill applies her useful and no-nonsense exercises as mile markers throughout her book as she courageously shares the twists and turns of her inspiring life story. With committment and compassion, Libby Gill has constructed a road map that each reader can follow as he or she continues the journey toward a more hope-filled, enlightened and self-reliant life.

From hopeful to JOYFUL!

I'm a motivational book freak - and this one is at the top of my list! First of all, Libby's real life struggles read like a novel. Secondly, the tools she created to transcend her past are simply amazing! This book helps us identify our family legacies and turns negatives from our past into positives in our present. No blame, shame or guilt here - just a roadmap to creating a life full of joy and purpose. I was astonished at how effective Libby's tools are - and how quickly they return results. This book changed my life!!

Practical tools, plus stories from the heart

Having read many self-help books and ultimately burned out on them, Travelling Hopefully was a pleasant surprise. The way that Libby tells her personal stories, and then goes into the steps she took - and we can take - to deal with similar issues, made me really connect with the author. Most writers are not as revealing, choosing to use stories from other anonymous people versus revealing their own dark secrets. Libby's stories are beautifully told and completely moving, and the solutions that she offers are real, and achievable. Travelling Hopefully is the best book that I've read in this arena.

A Must Read

An extraordinary book by an extraordinary woman, "Travelling Hopefully" inspires and educates, providing simple tools for the real people in the world to change their lives.It took courage to reveal her story, and even more courage to change her life. It made me feel "If she could do it, so can I". Don't miss this fascinating book which reads like a novel giving you life skills along the way.

Don't forget to tag your bags!!!

"Traveling Hopefully" is an inspiring self help book but it is also a great resource for general life management. My favorite tool is "Tagging Your Baggage" - turning the negative labels that have attached themselves to you, into positive ones. For years my family called me a "Motor Mouth" but with the help of "Traveling Hopefully" I now think of myself as a "Great Communicator." I highly recommend this book to anyone who aims to better understand themself and the world in which they live.
