“Martie Larson's Genuine Success - The Ultimate Blueprint to Success on Your Terms - is aptly titled. In this deeply personal but immediately accessible guide, Ms. Larson lays out clear steps for identifying and pursuing a life that fully resonates with your values and needs. Practical and empathetic in equal parts, her digestible approach provides a clear pathway to naming what matters to you and taking manageable steps toward greater fulfilment and success.

There is no fairy dust involved. She acknowledges where hard work is involved but outlines constructive measures to move you along your path. I felt both nurtured and inspired by her writing. She's a terrific cheerleader but, even better, she gave me the means to be my own best advocate. This is a very valuable read.”

“Genuine Success—The Ultimate Blueprint to Success on Your Terms by Marti Larson is easily one of the best personal development books I’ve read in a long time. Instead of promoting the usual “work harder, chase more” mindset, Larson offers a refreshing and heartfelt perspective on what success truly means.

It’s honest, practical, and full of wisdom. I loved how personal it felt—like receiving thoughtful advice from a wise neighbor who genuinely wants to see you thrive.

A must-read for anyone seeking a more meaningful and authentic version of success.”

“If you've ever felt that something was missing in your career, this book is a great way to get to the root of that dissatisfaction and do something practical about it. Martie tells us the story of being a huge success in her field, getting to a point where she should feel proud of what she's accomplished, and feeling hollow instead. Precipitated by personal loss, she sets out to find true meaning in her life and career. Why do we make the choices we do? What can we do about making meaningful changes, no matter where we are in our careers? Martie guides us, step by step, through the process of sorting out what's really under our yearning and dissatisfaction. Step by step she guides us into finding meaning in our own lives and careers. It's like having the smartest, most compassionate, funny best friend, keeping everything real, but also keeping us honest. What an incredibly helpful book! If you just read it, it's enjoyable and eye-opening. If you read it and do the exercises, it's life changing. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Martie’s book is a must read. You don’t have to be considering a career change to benefit from this book. It’s helped me reaffirm my commitment to my career and bring my authentic self to my work. Now I’m using it with my whole team.”

“… I'm admittedly one those people that normally speed reads through the initial chapter(s) of self-help books because I already know why I'm reading the book, and I'm often ready to get straight to more insightful and content-rich chapters. However, I'm glad that I didn't do that with this book because the author provided quite a few deeply personal anecdotes (from her childhood to adulthood) in the Preface and Chapter 1 that really resonated with me. As a man who is likely several years younger than the author and who grew up in a very different part of the country, I felt that all of the parallels she provided were very relevant and relatable while also being concise and straight to the point. Martie Larson's concise storytelling style and the book's structure make it a very quick and helpful read for working professionals, parents with young kids, and even college students who likely have a lot of assigned reading assignments on their plate already.

Finally, I'll say that the journal prompts and chapter recaps are pure gold. They were definitely helpful in guiding my reflections about the things that matter to me today. This book felt like having an on-demand Executive Coach, and I hope the author considers a writing a sequel or starting a podcast. Great read!!”

“WOW- what a life changing book! This gives you all the tools you need if you're looking for real insight and (possibly) some change. The author has a way of explaining overwhelming situations or feelings in a way that makes total sense and allows you to transform those into actionable items.

I have found this book to be so empowering; I am truly grateful to the author for sharing her experiences with the reader in such a relatable way.”

“Review by Tim H as I bought it under this account. A friend recommended this book even though I had retired after a 40+ year career. IT IS GREAT! A very easy read, not too long with simple exercises to do so it is not just a read, put it on the shelf, and move on. It is ACTIONABLE. I wish it was around decades ago. I highly recommend it for people at any point if life and their career as we all look for change. Sometimes, as the author noted, we don’t even realize it. Read it for yourself and give a copy to a friend neither of you will regret it.”

“Martie Larson exhibits her remarkable coaching talents in this, her first book. She has developed talent and built international partnerships across the globe. In Genuine Success, Martie extrapolates years of experience to bite-size nuggets of career gold. This book is a field guide that will serve the reader for years to come. I can't wait to see what she does next.”
