 Touching, Heartfelt & Inspirational! October 1, 2008
29 out of 30 found this review helpful
This book truly touched me. It is from Maria's heart. From the outside looking in Maria Shriver has it all. She was born into a wealthy, well connected family, had a successful TV reporting career, is married and has children with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is now the governor of California.
When Maria's husband became governor of California she had to leave her job at NBC news. About this time her nephew asked her to speak at his high school graduation. Maria was feeling very lost at this time. This book takes us through Maria's journey of how she figured out what to say and she found who she was along the way.
I loved that this book was all about "Who do you want to be" not what do you want to do. Maria shares that neither fame nor money will make you happy. Happiness comes from within.
Another book I really enjoyed was Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment by Ariel & Shya Kane. It is a book of short stories about "Being". I highly recommend both of these books.
 very small book October 1, 2008

I was hoping to give this book to my daughter who just entering college for the second time after taking a year off. I really didn't find it as inspirational as I thought it would be. Maria seems like a lovely person but I really didn't feel like her "problems" were "real world" like the majority of America's citizen's issues thus the book really didn't inspire me enough to give it to her. I'll donate it to the public library. perhaps someone else will be inspired!
Amazing Read September 30, 2008
This is one book that will cause the reader to stop, think, and consider the direction for his/her life.
The Freedom to Be Me! September 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A delightful little book which once again re-minded me of the opportunity and the choice that I have to determine who I will be in each and every present moment. It is uplifting and inspiring and I gave a satisfying YES! at the end. It will make a perfect gift for anyone able to hear its message. EAU
 who will you be is a question for our lifetime.... September 19, 2008

Early in my life (I am in my 70's), I read a book entitled "Man's Search for Himself", by Rollo May, actually having bought it as a gift to my husband. I ended up reading it and re-reading it several times over my life. Yet, when I read Maria Shriver's little book "Just Who Will You Be?", I was inspired to ponder my purpose once again. In addition, I have decided to gift this little book to my eight grandchildren (high school and college age) plus my daughters along with a "blank book" suggesting they begin their own "story."
Maria Shriver is a most interesting, impressive and insightful woman and I for one, am so glad she is a writer and that those of us who read can be encouraged to be "more." Thank you Maria!
