Summary of Traveling Hopefully: How to Lose Your Family Baggage and Jumpstart Your Life
"This book is for real, because Libby is for real." states legendary strategist Dr. Phil McGraw in his foreword to TRAVELING HOPEFULLY. With courage and candor, Libby reveals the real issues of her life--molestation, suicide, and mental illness--and shares her hard-earned insights on how her tragic family legacy shaped her life in negative ways.
She shifted her perspective from limiting to liberating, shedding those recurring themes and dramatically transforming her past. With a process she calls Five Steps to Jumpstart Your Life, Libby explains how others can rewrite their stories, as she did, to create more joy and fulfillment.
The 21 Hopeful Tools are easy to follow exercises and examples that take the reader through a transformative process, teaching how to:
*dissect the past to direct the future
*link internal clarity with external action
*create a Traveling Hopefully personal roadmap
*choose positive Travel Companions to support and inspire you
*keep moving toward what is wanted and away from what no longer serves
Filled with personal stories and those of others, TRAVELING HOPEFULLY inspires change--how to become a doer rather than a dreamer.
At age 40, Libby Gill felt like a fraud. A high-profile executive coach and strategist leading individuals and corporations to success, she was "flat-out miserable" inside, shaped by her past. Her journey as a "hopeful traveler intent on finding the purpose and the passion that would allow me to create the life I envisioned" led her to share her process to fulfillment in Traveling Hopefully.
Gill combines detailed, often painful excerpts from her personal story ("an expert in suffering," she calls herself) with client anecdotes to illustrate her Five Steps to Jumpstart Your Life and 21 Hopeful Tools: philosophical concepts turned into self-help exercises and action steps. Her point is that you need to look back at the "emotional relics" of your family legacy, understand how you got stuck there, then "deconstruct your past" in order to move forward towards your goals. Each tool is presented with detailed, step-by-step instructions in Gill's warm, personal style. You'll feel like you have an understanding coach by your side, supporting you through each step, sharing her own story as she coaxes you to reveal, understand, and move past your own. Foreword by Dr. Phil McGraw. --Joan Price
