This is a bit cheesy, I know...but this book was my closest friend for about a year and really helped me work up the courage to throw everything I had in a small Honda Civic and move to Boston.

This book changed my life. My sister and brother in law had just died and I had just run over a child with my car. Though it was not my fault, it was quite traumatic. I ended up quitting my job of 9 years that I loved very much, but needed a change. I read this book having no idea what my heart's desire really was. I just knew I wanted to follow it.

I have been living my hearts desire for 9 years now as a jeweler and I would highly recommend this book to anyone in search of learning what is and how to follow ones heart.

I enjoyed and appreciated this workbook style book by Sonia Choquette. I respect her as a psychic and guide, but this is a very practical book that helps you build your own dreams based on your heart's desire. I loved the hundreds of stories and examples she shared in each chapter, where it's easy to relate to your own situations. But the best results come to those who do the exercises and meditations included at the end of each chapter!

This is a wonderful book.
It is heartwarming, comforting and practical. The author writes and instructs with sincerity, love, and compassion, displaying many of the qualities that she advocates. One of the most appealing qualities about this book is the simplicity with which these concepts are presented. Just about anyone from any culture and of any age can benefit from this workbook.
Follow her suggestions for discarding old psychological baggage, focus on your dreams, open up to your intuition and believe in yourself. Let go of old negative thought forms like fear and unforgiveness etc. Believe in yourself and claim your dreams -- I agree with her that we all can do this. This book full of hope and courage will help anyone who can truly grasp the principles and work with them. It's at least the beginning of a journey towards peace of mind.

I like this book, but I read only the first third or so and then stopped. A teacher of mine (unrelated to this book) answered a question that put to rest the urgency I felt in finishing this book. That may actually have been the outcome of doing the exercises in it: the outcome of effective teaching is an unneeded teacher.

Sonia writes with a lot of love. This book is gentle.

It's a workbook. There are writing exercises and other types, many of which work on the subconscious. Lots of stories from her clients illustrate the principles. Overall I think the book started well, probably finishes well, and could be fruitful for people who actually want what it offers. It may have worked so well for me at this particular point in my life that I didn't need to finish it.

this is a life changing book i suggest for anyone interested in truly getting under the layers of bs we all deal with on a day to day basis.

such a great relevatory book to open the inner mind and to truly seek what our purpose is and how it aligns with our gifts, desires and collective need to give back to our world.

I did Sonia's 'Your Heart's Desire' workshop in Columbus, OH when I was 19 and I bought the book then. This is one of the first books that truly started my inward journey. I love Sonia's wit and charisma and her personality is greatly captured in her books as well.

browsed through, but intend to work my way through it ASAP. Lots of common sense practical advice in it.
Starting to work through it now...

practical and inspirational

[Sandra Alonzo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful, helpful, motivating book that will show the reader a path to follow toward manifesting what they really want in life, just like the title says. I love Sonia Choquette's style and beliefs.

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this book several years ago. Even read it more than once. This system didn't resonate with me or work for me. The wording she uses and woo-woo action steps didn't do it for me. While there are practical suggestions, I was trying to manifest things I really needed instead of just wanted at the time, and this book and system didn't get me where I needed to be. I like the book. I worked with this teacher at several live workshops on other topics. This just wasn't written in a way I could relate.

This book, which I have owned for over a decade, has been one of the most helpful self-help books I have read (and there have been many). Even before I studied yoga and its teachings about the power of thought, this down-to-earth manual for manifesting the life you really want introduced me to this topic. And so far it is still the most complete, simple, funny, and use-able manual on this subject I have found.

[Ariel Paz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Found this book very interesting. Spiritual guidance from a different perspective. Enjoyable read and liked the stories she shared. We are all on a spiritual journey and it is interesting to learn from others on a different path. As someone who was raised not to trust my intuition or my feelings, at this late stage of life, I am resolved to get in touch with mine and teach others what I have learned along my spiritual journey.

Sonia shares client stories of what worked and didn’t work when it came to manifesting their hearts desire. I appreciate how this workbook has a combination of activities and journal prompts to clarify a desire that otherwise may sit on the shelf. I had a very key intention for mine and feel an even greater sense of purpose and rootedness as I continue to take steps towards its fruition. Sonia is a dreamer and resonates perfectly well with other dreamers.

[T.Kay Browning · Rating 2 out of 5]

If anyone can point me to some kind of personal spiritual development practice manual that they really enjoyed I would appreciate it. This one had its moments and I enjoyed a lot of the exercises, but the narrative and especially the examples were so superficial, I often felt cheap reading this one.

What would Sonia Choquette say if I told her that I started reading Your Heart's Desire on June 22nd and that 1) I haven't touched the book in weeks and 2) the bookmark fell out of the book?

Would she say that my guides are telling me that I am not ready for this book? That my heart lacks desire?

Right now, I lack the desire to finish this book.

[Emma · Rating 3 out of 5]

A step by step run through of the power of goal setting visualization and letting things happen. She obviously understands deeply the science and art of this, but I felt her copious examples fell short, and uninspired.

[Kristel · Rating 3 out of 5]

A friend recommended this to me as I am trying to navigate change in my life. This book has some great pieces to help you think about changing and great action/reflection pieces to support that work!
(It is a little silly and a very 90s, which if you don't take to seriously is quite fun!)

[Pamela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved it! Very helpful ideas.

[Judy Hanson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book! This is one that I will reread and still learn more each time. It takes you step by step to finding your hearts desire. Highly recommend!

[Shauna · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was a really helpful and hopeful guide for life and getting what you really want. I felt it was full of great insights and informations. This book, however, didn’t speak to me like I felt it should, for the kind of book it is. I am very practical, so maybe that is the reason why-just personal style. I have recommended this book to others though as I could see it speaking to them.

[Tracey · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this book Sonia tells you how to create your Heart's Desire. She shows you how to create it one principle at a time.
I found this book very thought provoking. You are shown how to focus, how to work with your subconscious mind, how to imagine what you want and how to get rid of obstacles that may block you among other things.
I always tell people to be careful what they say as words have power. Sonia talks about this when it comes to creating what you want.
She also talks about your guides and how they work with you in the process.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to change their life for the better and not sure where to begin.

[Caro Lyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book worth reading more than once. The basic premise is to figure out your heart's desire, figure out how to make it happen, and move everything aside to make it happen. Good mix of narrative, examples, meditation ideas, and workbook-type questions. Humorously, this book helped me to finally work out that I have to remove a lot of impediments before working on my heart's desire. I'll need to move closer to that goal and pick up the book again.

[Sam · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a great practical book for anyone wanting to be a success in life. This book just motivates you to get up and start living your dream and gives you the tools to do it. Although this book was written in the 90's it is timeless, a classic. Save money on the "life coach", this book is a step by step guide to creating the life you want.

[Raina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Still learning from this book, but am finding out that drastic life change doesn't have to be that scary and comes with a lot of help and support from places and people you'd never expect.

Gives specific Ways to create the life you desire!

just received book

[Carolina · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved chapters 8 and 9 the most. The power of words and the trust in the universe/God. I need to re-read it when I am ready.

Liked it less than some of her others

[Linda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I just had the privilege of doing a workshop with Sonia. She is absolutely the real thing; her energy is amazing.
