Format:Paperback
This book is a gem , combining all the qualities one would hope for, but rarely find, in a self help book . It is a thoughtfully written, cleverly crafted story which draws the reader in right from the first page.
The dialogue between Serendipity and Pollyanna , her enigmatic life coach, is unfailingly entertaining and entirely believable within the context of the story. The author has skillfully combined a compelling storyline with a virtual masterclass on how to improve one's life by tackling everyday problems such as fear , dejection , regret , and , most importantly, procrastination ! The reader is provided with the tools to face up to and overcome these problems without being patronised,a feature of the book which I found particularly refreshing .
I sincerely hope that Pollyanna will return again very soon, perhaps to continue coaching the endearing Serendipity and her delightful friends . In the meantime I find it very comforting to keep a copy of the book by my bed so that I am reassured that help from Pollyanna is always close at hand !
I can recommend ' SERENDIPITY'S SECRET; a novel way to achieve your dreams and find the path to happiness' to anyone who feels they need to make improvements to their life but are not sure where to start. I guarantee it will be the best move they have ever made !

Format:Paperback
"Serendipity's Secret" is a "must-read" for anyone wishing to experience the power of coaching, as well as a useful reminder of successful coaching techniques for practising coaches.
The fun and vivid story of Serendipity the cat and her life-coach, Pollyanna the parrot, illustrates beautifully how we can all take responsibility for our lives to help us achieve our goals and find happiness. The book also contains self-coaching exercises to enable the reader to follow Serendipity's example by setting goals and taking actions to reach them.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to make the journey towards achieving their true potential and, like Serendipity, to feel like "the cat that got the cream"!

I thought this book was fantastic and a real find. It's so easy to read that I got into it straight away and found myself reading it from cover to cover very quickly. I can definitely see why it has received endorsements from so many bestselling authors.
I particularly thought its innovative style of combining a story with a practical guide worked really well. I could easily identify with Serendipity's situation of feeling that life has been passing her by and I loved the way the story took you step-by-step through the process of discovering what it is you really want out of life, setting goals and working towards achieving your full potential. This book also stands out in the way it so vividly and comprehensively illustrates ways of overcoming obstacles such as procrastination, dejection, fear and limiting beliefs. It's also great the way the story really allows the author to clearly demonstrate how you can change your life (rather than just telling you what you should do) thus avoiding hectoring or patronising the reader. I particularly liked having the final chapter which is a summary of the learning points from the story which you can then apply to your own life.
The characters are also great. Serendipity is so adorable you can't help rooting for her and Polly is very charismatic and entertaining. In fact, she is such a skilled life coach that reading this book is the next best thing to having your own personal life coach guiding you towards a better life. Overall, I thought Serendipity's Secret combines the qualities of some of the best self-help books around while managing to avoid the shortcomings of many others. If there is any justice in the world, this book will go on to be an international bestseller! A very enjoyable, touching, thought provoking and inspiring read.
