Your bucket list. Quarterly objectives. Strategic plans. Big dreams. Goals. Lots of goals and plans to achieve those goals―no matter what. Except …

You're not chasing the goal itself, you're actually chasing the feeling that you hope achieving that goal will give you.

Which means we have the procedures of achievement upside down. We go after the stuff we want to have, get, or accomplish, and we hope that we'll be fulfilled when we get there. It's backwards. And it's burning us out.

So what if you first got clear on how you actually wanted to feel in your life, and then created some "Goals with Soul"?

With The Desire Map, Danielle LaPorte brings you a holistic life-planning tool that will revolutionize the way you go after what you want in life. Unapologetically passionate and with plenty of warm wit, LaPorte turns the concept of ambition inside out and offers an inspired, refreshingly practical workbook for using the Desire Map process:

Identify your "core desired feelings" in every life domain: livelihood & lifestyle, body & wellness, creativity & learning, relationships & society, and essence & spirituality
• Create practical "Goals with Soul" to generate your core desired feelings
• Why easing up on your expectations actually liberates you to reach your goals
• Self-assessment quizzes, worksheets, and complete Desire Mapping tools for creating the life you truly long for
Goal-setting just got a makeover.

There are more than 10,000 "Desire Mappers" who have worked through this system. "Every day I get stories about inner clarity, quitting jobs, dumping the chump, renewing vows, pole-dancing classes, writing memoirs, moving on," says Danielle. "This is about liberation. And pleasure. And self-determination. This is about doing much less proving, and way more living."

If you've had enough of trying to trick yourself into happiness through affirmations or bucket-listing your hopes into some distant future, then you're ready for The Desire Map―a dream-fulfilling system that harnesses your soul-deep desire to feel good.

Review

“When I sat down with The Desire Map, I immediately felt my shoulders relax. Within the first few pages I was nodding my head. I felt heard and validated. She did it. She gets it. And now everyone else can too. I WISH that this goldmine of insight and practical guidance had been by my side over the years. I feel blessed to have Danielle in my life, and I can't wait to see the floodgates of bliss, a-ha's and life-changing shifts burst open as people put their Desire Map into practice. Danielle is a master. She's part psychic, part dream whisperer, and all fire starter. If you're ready to awaken and live in alignment with who you truly are, then toss your Type A to-do's and dive heart-first into The Desire Map.” ―Kris Carr, author of Crazy Sexy Kitchen, Crazy Sexy Diet

“With an organic elegance The Desire Map couples our primal desire-energy with the inborn intelligence of our feelings. The result? Optimizing our time on Earth. LaPorte's joie de vivre is contagious. Prepare to catch it!” ―Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Life Visioning

And nobody puts out poetic motivation like Danielle does. The Desire Map is a hotline to your truth.” ―Gabrielle Bernstein, author of May Cause Miracles and Spirit Junkie

“Danielle LaPorte is scary smart, yet so kind and practical that she kindles the fire in you without causing you to feel consumed by the flames. She has the knowledge you need to succeed.

“Inspiration, innovation, and self-worth are just some of elements that Danielle LaPorte will fill you up with. The Desire Map discusses how to make your dreams and goals come true in a realistic way. . guaranteed to wow you.” ―BeliefNet.com

“The Desire Map. It's a motherload of motivation, inspiration and transformative triggers to help you start living the life of your dreams as an entrepreneur, a lover, a hero. Under its gorgeous cover, it's packed with videos, fantastic music tracks, contemplations, workbooks and Danielle's famed street-smart wisdom.” ―Navjit Kandola | TenderLogic.com

“As always, Danielle LaPorte has broken the mold for self-actualization with The Desire Map. This experience will invite, challenge, and even seduce you to get to know the core of who you are. The Desire Map doesn't give you some sort of outside-inn prescription to "live your dreams" and "tackle lofty goals" like other programs. Instead, you'll be guided through a process that's guaranteed to help you craft your life and make decisions based on what will truly make you happy. Forget time management systems, goal setting programs, and visioning exercises. The Desire Map is all you need to design a life that will truly work for you.” ―Kate Northrup, author of Money: A Love Story

“The Desire Map has me reeling. Your truth is so laid bare, raw, revealed. I'm drop-jawed in awe.” ―Meggan Watterson, author of Reveal: A Sacred Manual for Getting Spiritually Naked

“I'm only on page 11 of The Desire Map and my mind has been blown WIDE OPEN.” ―Gala Darling | GalaDarling.com

“I've lived in over-drive. For years. I was a tenacious goal-getter and I drove myself hard to reach those goals - no matter what they were. Until I hit a wall, and thought, There's gotta be another way. The Desire Map is that "other way." This is what people are looking for - a new way to plan their lives - an inside-out approach.” ―Eric Handler | PositivelyPositive.com

“Most of us are so busy planning that we forget what we're planning for. You've ignited a reverence for our desires in a way that brings meaning back to our daily actions. The Desire Map is a life-changer.” ―Nisha Moodley | FierceFabulousFree.com

“My only mistake was starting to read The Desire Map at night. I couldn't put it down, madly scouring my heart for longing, writing down my desires with clarity I haven't felt for years. Thank you so much for this. It's straightforward and yet deeply poetic. It's big and beautiful and generous and profound. I don't say this lightly - it changes everything.” ―Samantha Reynolds | Founder and President, Echo Memoirs

This book was an instrumental part of my healing journey. I love how much clarity I gained from defining how I wanted to feel in every area of my life. Taking the time to pause, reflect, feel, and embody those desires has led me to the life I’ve always wanted with the right partner, career, and relationships. Forever grateful and highly recommend this book to anyone who feels lost or off their path.

5.0 out of 5 stars simple, practice, inspiring

A few years ago, my New Year's Resolutions were "don't make resolutions". I still follow that rule, but now I focus on feelings. I first read using the digital program a few years ago, and landed on my Core Desired Feelings for 2014. They were left to die in a notebook. Buying the accompanying day planner did wonders to actually living how I want to feel. If you're a self-help junkie, you just might quit that never-ending cycle after reading this.

Simple, practical, inspiring. I bought three as gifts this year. This is the gift you get the person you love too much to get "just another sweater".

The book, part workbook, is an inspiring, gentle but targeted kick in the ass to get clear on what you want. If you don't know what you want you can't complain about not having it, right?

Actually, I ordered this from the library several times, and kept it past the due date, so was in effect 'renting it', from the library, so I just ordered myself a copy. I have also recommended it to a couple of people, and one was waiting for it last I heard. This is a progressive book on goal settings, and helps one dial down to what they really really want and why... and the book is written in a fun less traditional way. Makes you want to break out the color pens and start rethinking at a deeper level.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Desire Map rocks?
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2014

From the moment I saw Danielle LaPorte's video and brand on her website, I knew why she was really successful. Her bad-ass presentation definitely separates her from some of the terminal earnestness that I experience in the New Thought movement, so that was very intriguing. But what really makes her stand out as a walks her talks type of thought leader, is the minute details that she put into the book. Everything from the slightly textured cover, the layout of the her words on those collage pages, that land like the words have been spilled on to the page, very much like those do it yourself paragraphs that people put together on their refrigerators with those word magnets.

But more than anything is the energy of her message that permeates every page. The energy of abandonment (the good kind), fierceness, the trust of self, passion, all fueled by a single, quite profound message, which to paraphrase is that how we feel makes a difference and we need to have that be our new spiritual and action compass. I love the distinction of fly by night feelings that come and go, and those that are constantly resurfacing in our souls, no matter how far we run away from it.

As people and especially as women, it's just too easy to run away from our "truth bombs" as Danielle calls them, and she offers up a great style that serves as a catalyst to face them, and let them guide our life direction, from the mundane to the magical.

Her rawness and candor is appealing, but if there was nothing substantive that supports it, who cares? When I need to reconnect with my feelings because I've lost my way, I pick up the book and am viscerally reminded, not just theoretically reminded, and in a world of talking heads that sometimes we've become, I find it most refreshing.

I had this book in my wish list for over a year. I kept reading the reviews, coming back to the website.. not sure if I could quite relate. I now firmly believe that her message hits home when the "student is ready." You have to be ready to hear her message, and when you are, you will feel home. I had to stop reading to write this review. I love the book.. her writing makes me laugh out loud. You don't really change your life until you stop trying to get to the next thing... but just allow yourself to sink into how you want to feel and why you want to feel that way. Maybe you have to be ready to step outside of that logical and overly rational part of your brain. When your emotions and feelings take center stage, then you can relate a bit more. How does one get there? I don't know.. I'm 30 and I just got there. The read is like a breath of fresh air.

5.0 out of 5 stars "How do you want to feel?" It's so simple.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2015

I love this woman, her book, and her planners. (And she's generous. Free downloads of her ebook, audio, and app. But she doesn't offer them all the time, so catch them while you can.) I've got both the kindle and the physical version of this book. I love her style. She's edgy yet a softy. Straight to the point, yet wordy. Real, raw, imperfect, and directive without being "my way or the highway" about it. My kind of human!
The fundamental question is "how do you want to feel?" Everything is geared toward creating a life that directs you to feeling that way. It aligns you with what truly matters for you personally. (Spoiler alert: we all want to feel good.)
If you're ready and serious about making changes in your life and you want more than to just check items off your list, this is well worth looking into.

Este es un libro y a la vez una gran agenda visionaria. La primera parte tiene muy buena teoría, digerible y simpática pero con grandes verdades y 20s. La segunda parte es el libro de trabajo para manifestar la vida que quieres crear. Se enfoca en lo que quieres sentir, lo que te ayuda a aterrizar tus planes. Lo único incómodo para mi es que es muy grandote y me dio ansia rallar con mis metas de este año el librote, así que hice los ejercicios en otro cuaderno para poder volverlo a usar este nuevo año.
