This is a short book regarding the river of life and how we navigate it. The author provides a quiz which, at first, I found the scoring confusing. There is an agreement the author asks the reader to sign asking they do not take the book as a personal attack.

Her definition between being wild and reckless is a cautionary tale. Willing shows what you can accomplish when you are open to exploring. In the last section, the author shows that knowledge can be a good thing but also crippling in certain situations.

The book is well written. Unfortunately, the website listed for the audio recordings is a parked domain. It would have been nice to listen to the visualizations and meditations. If you are trying to improve your life decision making process, this would be a good book to read.
