7 Signposts: Find Your Direction in Life's Foundational Decisions
Need direction in your life?
Trust the compass, not the map.
Most of us spend our childhoods internalizing a map by which we’re expected to navigate life. Shaped by history—our families, religion, and society—this map tells us where we can and cannot go. Until one day, some part of it doesn’t fit us anymore. Automatically following the same road feels wrong, and it calls the whole map into question.
If you feel discouraged or stuck, maybe even a little hopeless, that’s okay. Nothing’s wrong with you. It just means it’s time to ditch the map and follow your own internal compass.
7 Signposts shows you how to read your inner compass by posing seven decisions that can help you align your life with who you really are. At each step, you’ll have the chance to choose. You can consult that old map, or you can check your compass and design a beautiful, aligned life that’s intentionally crafted to fit you.

While so many books in the genre tend to outline "the right way" to approach different situations, this book instead focuses on determining the right path for your specific situation. Each section gives a balanced view of different ways to approach various decisions you will face in your life - I found this to be a super refreshing take on the personal development genre! Not to mention that the book itself is well written with lots of helpful anecdotes injected that truly help you feel connected to the author on a more personal level. I honestly struggled to put it down. Highly recommend giving this a read, regardless of where you're at in life

TL;DR If you're trying to figure out "adulting" and overwhelmed do yourself a favor and pick up this book as a guide to begin designing your own approach to your life!
If you're at the beginning of a professional career or setting out on a life of your own this book is an amazing tool in your toolkit and one I recommend starting with! 7 Signposts does you a huge favor by synthesizing research, tools, and guidance from a wide variety of sources and packaging it up in a well structured format so you can quickly get the information you need to start making decision on how YOU want to live YOUR life. The author shares personal stories and lessons learned that make the book fun and easy to read, almost as if you're sharing a cup of coffee with a wise friend. At each signpost you're given a series of tools or exercises for additional exploration and introspection to help yourself determine which pathway aligns best to you which makes this book extremely actionable. The author offers her own perspectives along the way but my favorite thing about this book is that rather than telling you how to live she provides you a guide for deciding for yourself.
