About this listen

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A life-changing guide to finding your direction—and your passion—in a world of seemingly limitless options

“For those who want to find their passion . . . a step-by-step guide for restructuring one’s life so that it has meaning, direction, and joy.”—Ellen Kreidman, author of Light His Fire and Light Her Fire

If you suspect there could be more to life than what you’re getting, if you always knew you could do anything—if you only knew what it was—this extraordinary book is about to prove you right. No matter what your age, no matter how “unattainable” your dreams, you can create and live a life you love.

I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was reveals how you can recapture “long lost” goals, overcome the blocks that inhibit your success, decide what you want to be, and live your dreams forever. You will learn:

• What to do if you never chose to be what you are.
• How to get off the fast track—and on to the right track.
• First aid techniques for paralyzing chronic negativity.
• How to regroup when you've lost your big dream.
• To stop waiting for luck—and start creating it.

A life without direction is a life without passion. I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was guides you not to another unsatisfying job but to a richly rewarding career rooted in your heart’s desire.©1996 Barbara Sher; (P)1996 Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Random House, Inc.

some good introspective activities at the start but then dove into childhood psychology which seemed more speculative than scientific

strong start but became pseudosciencey

Barbara Sher delivers her own brand of very clear and effective analysis of why different types of people might be feeling stuck for different kinds of reasons. She has obviously drawn from vast experience and her writing is totally on point. What I especially like about her is that she doesn't spew out the typical "retrain your mind to be positive and think anything is possible" à la Anthony Robbins et al. (nothing against Tony Robbins but..) She is much more pragmatic than that... you don't have to become a different person and think differently.. you're fine with your ups and downs and negativity and moaning. All you need are a few very simple pointers and tools to get you going in the direction of increasing happiness, gradually, patiently, one baby step at a time. I recommend this audiobook.

Really really good

It was very insightful book. Some chapters hit more home than i expected and some of the excersises actually allowed me to see what / who is holding me down to achieving my dreams. It is all in our heads, past and present. Our fears and insecurities are root cause of not going after what we really desire.
Enjoyed listening to this.
