It Was Always Meant to Happen That Way Paperback – January 10, 2011

I love Brooke Castillo’s podcast and so I bought her book. I was a little disappointed because in her podcast she gives so many details on the topics she speaks about. This book was more of a huge overview of topics and each section could be read in a minute or less. To me it was more of an inspirational devotional that lacked depth. If you aren’t familiar with Brooke Castillo’s life coaching, this book would not be as good for you. Overall, each section felt incomplete with such brief, slightly disconnected, comments. If you want something inspirational, listen to her podcast, “the life coach school with Brooke Castillo”. It’s by far my favorite life coach podcast.

Great book for those who is willing to change their life and transform!This book is so easy to read and at the same time each chapter and sentence is full of meaning and depth. I think I highlighted and wrote down in my journal more than half of the content of this book, and have already re-read most of it! I love how Brooke writes in simple words and simple tenses, and how she uses humor. But so many chapters are now my Mantras.

I loved this book! Brooke has an easygoing style that appeals to many. She knows how to coach! Every chapter had an impact on me! Thank you, Brooke!

Brooke is an inspiration! Her book is filled with easily digestible but oh so powerful mantras that can lead you in life and in your individual day. I loved this book so much. It helped me realize that my thoughts are shared by others and they're ok - my good and bad thoughts are my own and I can change them and use them as I please. The guidance in this book is invaluable. If you need to be inspired and have your thoughts validated, then read this incredible book. Thank you Brooke for sharing these lessons we with all of us!!!

Brooke is able to point out that we really do have control of our thoughts and therefore our life This book is a must read!

I rated this book less than perfect because I want more from it. I didn’t want it to be over.It’s worth the quick read. It’s simple truth is simply doable. Truth does set you free. Don’t be afraid.

I absolutely loved this book, it is such an easy read, one of those books you can pick up at anytime and read a few pages. I have all of Brooke's books but I think I like this the best, it is funny, true to life and shows that Brooke still struggles like the rest of us. I am so blessed to have come to know Brooke and had some coaching by her she is wonderful. What more can I say but buy the book, I keep mine next to my bed and read a few pages each night, I have read through it twice already. Love it!

This book is short snippets of teachings from Brooke Castillo. It’s not really in a book format. I liked it because it had great take away a- like mini podcasts. Bite size thought provoking questions and things to consider.Can I just say- if you haven’t met Brooke Castillo- through her podcast, blog, books or coaching- you are missing out! Life changing teaching!

I've read and listened to many coaches over the last year. Brooke Castillo is the stand out act. Simple, truthful teaching on how to change your life for the better.

This gives amazing insights into why we behave as we do and suggests methods to uncover all that is holding us back. Life changing read. Anyone who wants to explore deeply and face themselves to make positive changes should read this. Now!

Love this book thank you for such a great read! It’s time for me to stop hoarding my gifts! Definitely recommended
