Book Description

26 Aug 2010
Do you ever feel there must be something better out there but you're not sure exactly what? Do you have hopes and dreams but you're not sure how to make them a reality? Maybe you know exactly what you want and how to get it but just lack confidence and self-belief?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to discover 'Serendipity's Secret'!

This life coaching guide with a difference is woven around the heart-warming tale of a cat called Serendipity. She feels stuck in a rut and trapped in a life of drudgery, yet, unable to see a way out, is resigned to continuing her safe but dull existence. It is only when she meets a mysterious and charismatic life coaching parrot called Pollyanna that she begins to realise that her life could be so much more. She has hopes, desires, ambitions, dreams. Yet, held back by fear of failure and lack of self-belief, how could she ever hope to achieve them?

Pollyanna vows to help her do just that, and as the weeks pass, Serendipity begins to change . . .

Combining an uplifting story with a practical self-coaching guide, Serendipity's Secret provides all the tools you need to turn your life around and find lasting happiness. Read it, feel inspired and, just like Serendipity, discover that the key to your dreams is much nearer than you think!

By Janie W
Format:Paperback
What can I say? I read this book and couldn't put it down! As a person that has used 'self help' books in the past and found many to be condescending, irritating or full of jargon this one was an absolute delight to read. Without realising it you will find yourself taken in by Serendipity and Polly who are great characters and you will find yourself bonding with them very quickly! The great thing I came away with after reading Serendipity's Secret is that I found myself believing in my ability to realise my dreams and thinking about ways in which to achieve them. I highly recommend this book to `anyone' - even if you don't think you need personal coaching this book will unearth new desires in you that you haven't taken the time to seriously think about. It will also provide you with the necessary tools and direction to achieving them to make a better life for yourself! The only disappointment was that, like with any great book, it came to an end. I look forward to the next instalment???

5.0 out of 5 stars Life-coaching the fun way! 8 Sep 2010
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"!

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 !

3.0 out of 5 stars a nice read
This was quite a good book, with good ideas. However, it was a little bit child-like for my liking, I am an animal lover but can only relate so much to cats and parrots. Read more
