Lisa Nichols: Living the Life You Love
by Lynnette Holloway | AOL BV Book Shelf

Lisa Nichols helped scores of people realize their dreams through her best-selling 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' series and her appearance on the DVD of 'The Secret.' The works helped her snare guest appearances on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' 'Larry King Live,' and 'Extra!' Now, she is back with more advice in 'No Matter What! 9 Steps to Living the Life You Love.'

In the easy-to-read guide, Nichols provides a road map to developing and flexing those all-important survival muscles, including building confidence and faith, saying yes to challenges and learning to forgive. The motivational speaker says that while millions of people are trying to live by the laws of attraction detailed in 'The Secret,' 'No Matter What!' instructs readers on how to steer clear of road blocks and how to slow down for speed bumps.

''Though I'm featured in the hit film and book 'The Secret' and travel around the world speaking about the law of attraction, for most of my life, I've been guided by a different law, the one I call the law of no matter what,'' Nichols writes."No matter what happened to me, no matter what people said to discourage me, no matter what I looked like or what I weighed, a small voice inside kept reminding me that I had the right to live the life of my dreams. Over and over I told myself, keep going for what you want -- no matter what! I was determined to set free my inner champion.

Setting free her inner champion meant building up her bounce-back muscles. What are those, you ask? These muscles are not developed at the gym or by drinking protein shakes, Nichols explains. Your bounce-back muscles are shaped and formed by life experiences -- by overcoming challenges and rising to the occasion, she says.

'No Matter What,' with its temperate advice, comes in handy during today's challenging times and provides a good road map to empowerment.

"When you see what I've made it through, you'll know for sure you can do it, too! And the advice and steps that I've outlined throughout the book will show you how,'' Nichols writes.
