⚠ Stop reacting. Start leading. ⚠

PLOT-A-COURSE is the self-help book for people who crave more out of their lives but don’t know how to create the life of their dreams… yet! 

In this thoughtful and motivating step-by-step playbook, witty author, speaker, and good-feelings maven, Marchesa Schroeder, delivers a satiating recipe for the comfortable life everyone wants: chock-full of meaningful relationships, awesome experiences, and the best kinds of feelings! With equal parts science-backed studies, therapy exercises, stories, and mind-hacking techniques, Plot-A-Course is meant to be enjoyed bite by delicious bite, savoring each lesson as it is: simply one part of the complex, umami-inspired, Michelin-rated, self-help meal you are consuming. 

Served in two actionable and motivating courses, this book teaches you to: 

◆ Identify your “WHY,” accepting the unequivocal truth that we all share the same ultimate goal

◆ Pinpoint and eradicate the limiting-beliefs and sabotaging behaviors that stand in your way

◆ Create the life you love, love the life you lead, and enjoy the journey

By the end of Plot-A-Course, you’ll be feeling good, taking action, and leading the life you’ve always wanted. 

The only question remaining is: 

Are you ready?

“You have two choices in life: To lead your life or let life’s circumstances lead you.”
-Marchesa Schroeder

The opening quote set the tone for this eight-step goal attainment playbook. Marchesa presents seven commandments for her program.

Each chapter is written in a conversational style and has thought-provoking questions. Moreover, the “essential points” for each step accurately capture the highlights, which is critical for those speed readers who are looking for a unique and actionable self-help book.

Highly recommended to anyone who currently feels stuck and desires to work their way out.

I enjoyed this book, really gave me food for thought. I think this is another book that I will keep coming back to as I found it really useful.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

Many of the recommendations of this book are useful, practical and genuinely helpful. It rings true about the importance of having a plan and of not being too harsh on ourselves when that plan goes awry.

I enjoyed reading Plot A Course by Marchesa Schroeder. I liked the author's writing style, and I believe this book will be one I refer to often.

I like having visuals when reading self-help books. I wish there were more, though, but the book had good examples to solidify the information. Even though some of the concepts were simple, it was good to read information and remind myself that it's okay to take time off and relax and regroup when needed.

Marchesa Schroeder has distilled the lessons of a lifetime into Plot-A-Course, a book that owes its origins to the lectures Schroeder's regaled her family with until he boiled it down to the simple questions: "Who Am I?" to "What Do I Want?" to "Why Do I Want It" to "How Do I Plan on Getting It?" Once I became accustomed to the enthusiastic, wordy presentation, I appreciated the candor, the thorough explanations, abundant examples, and overall good-hearted and compassionate approach to stopping the automatic way you've always lived in order to find your happiness and genuinely enjoy your life. Schroeder is that wise, funny, kind friend you can count on to tell you the truth, her truth, and what to order at the coffeeshop for a blissful hour. I've read acres of self-evolution guides and this one stands out for its ultimate simplicity, clarity, and process. I received a reader copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my unbiased review.
