We both multi-task and seek self improvement. Live Big is about trying to achieve focus on the big picture, our interior life, our relationship to the world and how we bring the two together in our own unique way.

Already a classic
This is a beautiful, accessible, inspirational book. It reminds me of a modern gorgeous Artist's Way. In reading it I have been inspired to look at all the parts of my life more creatively. The prompts inside are transformative, easy and fun to do. I would highly recommend this book to people at any stage of their creative journey.

Live Big is a beauty! It's a joy to open, to look at, and read. It's like a grown-up's Alice in Wonderland!

– Nicole T Bergstrom

Living big in ways that are personal and real
What I love about this book is that it falls well outside of the more typical self-development genre. It takes as its starting point that "living big" is a personal place; success is not one size fits all, nor is it exclusively about making more money or buying more things or, god forbid, managing it all so that we can fit even more into our already busy days! What Rochelle Seltzer has done here is create a METHOD for letting the participant (the reader) chart our own course. Through thought-provoking and beautifully presented exercises, we are asked to identify patterns; imagine and think through dreams, goals and objectives; look at roadblocks and, without judgment, consider ways to work through or around. It's an individual journey written in a way that lets you understand you're not alone on this path. Rather, there's a small but mighty army of terrifically creative and resourceful women on that road with us!

A truly wonderful and beautiful book!
If you long to live a creative and more meaningful life, this book is for you. Each chapter is beautifully designed, and passionately expressed. What I love most is I can either read it straight through, or flip to a chapter that interests me in the moment. Live Big is the new creative handbook for my life and career.

— Lisa A. Berglund

Enthralling and beautiful! Your guide to Living Big.
Few books have captured my attention in the way that Live Big has. I consider myself to be a self-aware and creative person. And yet, each section of this book awakened thoughts and ideas on ways to be more self-aware and far more creative. I think a lot of this has to do with not only the beautiful writing, but also the stunning book design. I was taken in by the colors, the fonts, the graphics. Once I started, I didn't want to stop reading. What I really want to do, is to go on a weekend (or longer) retreat with Rochelle and work through the many fun and thought provoking exercises. I know this will be my give for Living Big!

— M. Ryan

A feast for the heart, soul and eyes!
I love this book for many reasons. Rochelle takes a deep, thoughtful topic and breaks it down into bite size pieces so I never felt overwhelmed. It was exciting to see that I could make progress in a small amount of time and the exercises inspired me to open up to my creativity and not judge myself. And each page is a feast for the eyes. The beauty of the book made me want to keep reading more and more at each sitting. How often do you come across a book that feeds your heart, soul and eyes? This one does that. I encourage everyone to own (and read!) this book!

— Ginger Burr

Game changer.
This is the kind of book you’ll refer back to and will want to read again, like every year.

— K. Gutierrez

This book makes my heart skip ❤️
Live Big is a beautifully designed roadmap on how to do just that, LIVE BIG. After reading it cover to cover, I find myself picking it up and turning to the sections I need when I am looking to be inspired, especially if I feel like I'm playing small. It has been such a game-changer for me that I bought a bunch and give them as gives to help others feel the love! Highly recommended!

— Susie Mordoh

A powerful roadmap to a life of intention
Live Big is a powerful roadmap to a life of intention, creativity, and empowerment. You don’t have to read it in one sitting, either — you can turn right to the relevant chapter for specific advice and suggestions on tackling a challenge. I keep this on my desk for handy access.

— Jon I. Monger

Live Big lets you live big
This book is a gift right out of the box. It is beautifully designed and so well written. Rochelle provides you with wonderful ways to work creativity into your life and look at how you want to live in new and interesting ways. I love the exercises and insights. Each chapter starts with a simple saying, each one more profound than the last. And every so often there is an online treat or piece of insight or extra little exercise to do. The book makes self-reflection and getting into action simple accessible and completely do-able. Love that you can read it front to back or skip around and find the way that is best for you. I've gifted it to 5 friends and can't wait to compare notes on the impact of the different chapters.

Beautiful, inspiring, practical!!
This lovely book is helpful in so many ways. There are unique techniques to that will help you clarify your current state of mind and teach you ways to move forward by taking small, yet powerful steps to “live big,” like living more creatively and authentically, and being true to yourself and your purpose. Live Big will encourage you to find your own personal ways of bringing more joy and aliveness into your life!! I highly recommend Rochelle Seltzer's LIVE BIG!!

— Cheryl Piperberg

Simply life changing!
Not only is it beautifully designed and thoughtfully written, the exercises are phenomenal. I find myself taking “savoring breaks," discovered the magic that happens when “doing nothing”, and the Discovery Dozen in itself has lead me to discover some mindsets that were holding me back.

— Donna Triska

This book can change your life.
This book is a treasure from beginning to end. It's filled with warm thoughts and inspiration. I love the way the book fits in my hand, and just looking through it is a visual treat. But most important, it is filled with exercises that guide you to a richer, more fulfilling life. Read the book. Revel in the visuals. But, be sure to do the exercises. You will surprise yourself and discover more than a few moments of enlightenment.

— Betsyann Duval

What a GREAT experience!
What a great way to start my mornings and be guided in an intentional and thoughtful way! I love that this book doesn’t have to be read cover to cover but rather you can open it and jump right in wherever that may be. Grab a journal and let this book guide you from living disconnected to connecting with your internal wisdom so that you can Live Big!

Living Big and Living Well
Beautifully presented and easy to understand, Rochelle provides the right amount of inspiration, wisdom and evokes your inherent creativity to move past life's obstacles. She effectively pulls many threads into an approach for identifying and pursuing a pathway forward for "living big" or just living well.

— D.G. PhD Executive Coach

Inspiring, Motivating and a pure joy to read and to gift.
This book is beautiful and a great read. Whether you flip through or even better, read it cover to cover you will smile. It is filled with real motivation, inspiring reminders of the creativity that is inside all of us and how we can all integrate more in our lives. I plan to give this gift to many on my holiday list. I loved the quotes and quips on living our best life!

Very Aligning Read
Not sure where your creativity has gone? Have you lost fervor in your life? This book will help you identify the things that drain you and zap your creativity! Love the Discovery Dozen, very helpful!! Thank you Rochelle!!
