Having trawled through some of the top self help books on the market, I was disappointed. I found one so badly written that I gave up more less than half way through, another so unbearably cheesy that my arteries made me stop reading in protest. Stating the obvious and spouting meaningless jargon seemed to be the order of the day, and I was mystified as to how they had become top sellers.

However, Harrold’s 10 minute life coaching is not of this ilk. Well written, with a down to earth tone, the book sets out to do exactly what it says on the cover. Harrold has divided her book into sections that stand alone in addressing areas of self improvement. They don’t even need to be read in a particular order. Harrold takes a broad view, asking you to address your motives and examine your expectations before moving on to focus on your goals.

Each chapter ends with a series of questions which are very easy to relate to. Although some initially seemed irrelevant to me, I found myself having several “eureka!” moments after they had been swimming around my subconscious for a while. Asking the right questions is clearly one of Harrold’s talents.

This book is much more about action than talk, more concerned with positively moving forward than stopping for introspection. However large or seemingly small your goals might be, Harrold will have you pursuing them with gusto and probably wondering why you never did so before. The chapters on action and motivation are worth the cover price alone. It’s taken me some time to finish reading this book as I found myself abandoning it mid sentence to go and get things done. My existence as a dreamy couch potato has definitely been challenged!

Anyone who has found themselves 100% ready to “just do it” but mysteriously remains glued to the sofa - this is for you. Harrold is refreshing realistic, accepting that there is a time for inaction and that sometimes enthusiasm will wane. The book also talks about making achieving your goals easier, a concept which might seem lazy or unrealistic, but actually makes perfect sense.

This book is beautifully written and sensibly structured - and therefore could be used time and time again to refresh and rejuvenate aims and ideals. Harrold’s unique approach makes this an ideal book for anyone who wants to improve themselves, be it on a personal level or for a career agenda. If you’ve read a lot of books in this genre and found them unhelpful – finally, this is the one you’re looking for!
