We all deserve to live a life we love living.
That's the first thing in the preface, and it's something true enough, however it's followed by: “The Authentic Driven Life is the perfect bridge between letting go of the past, starting to live in the present, and forging on to our future.” Insert scoff to the background of the infomercial music. I almost didn't keep going because if there's a pet peeve I have about these types of self-help books it's when they sound like they're trying to sell themselves instead of just helping. However, hold your horses too, because even if it's a bit touch and go with sounding like a lot of mumbo jumbo the very first questions of chapter one are really reflective: what do you want? what are you tolerating? and brings you fulfillment? and how she goes on to discus those in the light of her own experience kept me reading.
That brings me to the first pro, I liked learning about the author beyond just her beliefs though obviously that her childhood wasn't the best...isn't the best. Nor is it something to celebrate that she had an abusive ex or any of her other hardships but she came out of it to her current success so there's that.
Another pro is that this comes with a link to download the companion workbook, which is fairly typical for this type of book (or so has been the case with those I've read) but even so is still nice.
It *should* be expected of this type of read but it was still gratifying to find some good pieces of advice within, however I also found some that were... well, that really make you think: “Change is inevitable; transformation is a choice!”
One of the parts I found most interesting was when the top five regrets of the dying were shared; it certainly says something about society.
As for cons I suppose I don't have any per se but I also can't say that I truly loved this book because to me it oscillated too much between 'the cheerleader shouting GO TEAM hyping you up about change' approach and the bits where the author just discussed matters in a much more grounded way.
I really appreciated the depth of some of the questions and because this does cover what it promises it gets the five stars for a nonfiction read 'job done' but subjectively I'd rate lower because it was enjoyable enough but philosophically speaking it's much more debatable.
I would recommend this to those for whom self-reflection is neither a natural inclination nor a habit, as the book puts it: “If you think you are not living according to what you want with your life, then now is the time to change for the better.” That shift might be this book but it could also just be some old-school time to yourself to think, that's up to each person and what they need/want.

An Easy Uplifting Read, but Too Much of A Sales Pitch
The best thing about this book is the amount of positive insight Crystal has on life and how to grab it by the horns. There were definitely some good tips on how to re-organize one's self into a motivated force of good and productivity. Of course, any suggestions for actual change will depend on what an individual wants, so Crystal's advice can come off as vague or trite. Still, there are some tidbits of info I will use to push me forward in my goals.
That being said, Crystal makes way too many recommendations for other 'mentors' materials that make me feel uncomfortable. It's like she relies too heavily on other people's thoughts rather than her own (and this book is just a collection of those she found most helpful). I would rather she just stick to her own voice and material, which is pretty okay on its own, because it feels authentic.

Crystal Davis does a nice job of presenting "12 Ways to Authentically Shift Into Your Highest Self". She seems very sincere and I enjoyed the anecdotes and quotes she uses to illustrate her points and methods. I was able to apply her examples to suit my situation which is not always the case with self-help books. It was easy to read and I would suggest it to someone seeking insight to achieving their goals.

Life is Short - Live It
This was a great read for me - especially what's going on now and has gone on in the recent past. We must learn to live life to it's fullest and this book just confirms it further. I highly recommend getting this book and live life the way you love to.
