Spitting Fire: Your Guide to Reignite and Maintain Your Passion at Home, Work and Beyond

by Lauren R. LeMunyan

In this book, Lauren LeMunyan shares her story of awareness and awakening along with the tools and lessons she learned in not only healing but emerging as her true self. She also shares a variety of exercises to help readers identify their own strengths and weaknesses, create a vision for the future, and develop a plan that will get them there. Filled with stories from LeMunyan’s life, Spitting Fire is both entertaining and enlightening. It’s for anyone who needs support getting started on their journey. Spitting Fire redefines what it means to be a Spitfire - from a “fiery temper” to an inspiring leader - and in the process demonstrates that everyone has this powerful element within them. Readers will learn how to tap into their purpose, identify their values, map out their energy boosts and drops, pinpoint their motivation, and understand how to harness the power of The SpitFire Tetrahedron in the work, relationships, and self-care practice.

This book, while it seems to be to be geared towards entrepreneurs, also has something for those in the corporate world or a stay-at-home mom. As a life coach, Lauren really delves into what you need to do to discover your passions, your strengths -- those things that will make you a spitfire. A really quick and easy read (I was done in one sitting), it provides excellent food for thought about which way you want to steer both your career and your life.

Great, easy read! I thought the concepts of Ember, Flame, & Blaze in relation to your passion & motivation was easy to understand & explain to others. Lots of great nuggets without being fluffy like a lot of typical business or personal development books. The self-evaluation questions & exercises were helpful for understanding your current situation & refocusing attention on where you should go next.

There are some good excerises, and the personal story is great. The number of dictionary definitions for words is quite annoying.

[Chris · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was really hard to get into. There were some glaring writing concerns (e.g. the use of 'someone' when 'something' was meant).

Lauren is inspirational and presents content in a highly accessible manner to all walks of life. If you’re looking for some potentially deep personal or professional development, check this quick read out. It forces interaction with the text so you’re doing more than just skimming to finish a book.
