 a MUST READ for ALL of us! April 27, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I saw Maria on the Oprah show and immediately added her book to my list to look it over on my next visit to the bookstore. Well, I did just that and found myself sitting down to read it right in the store. I enjoyed it very much...wanted my adult children and recently widowed sister to read it, too, so I bought it. This small little book is based on the speech Maria gave at her nephew's college graduation, but I think the message is very important to anyone from junior high school and up. If you love a teenager or have an active grandmother with a birthday coming up...or anyone in between, BUY THE BOOK! Yes, it's a quick read, but the message is an important one.

This tiny book is filled with a little care, a little love, a little advise, a little hint of how the real world looks. Buy it for a graduating high school senior to encourage them to take life for its goodness and for its surprises.
WOW! I'm gushing and I rarely gush over a book. July 31, 2008

Here's the complete title: Just Who Will You Be? - Big Question - Little Book - Answer Within. Wow, what can I say, I'm gushing! I rarely "gush" over a book but I am gushing over this one. You can read it in an hour or two. A little book with a big message - live your life listening to your heart.
I'm highly recommending Just Who Will You Be? by Maria Shriver. I thoroughly enjoyed her open honest heart-to-heart writing style. A five star rating from me!
Whether you've found your life's mission, been searching for years or are just beginning your path in life, you'll want to read this book. It's the right message at the right time, no matter where we are on life's journey.
Maria Shriver's openness, vulnerability and honesty is refreshing and inspiring. I didn't know what to expect from the author - a Kennedy, a news anchor, a journalist, Oprah's good friend and currently First Lady of California. Really, what does she have to wonder about? How could she possibly relate to me?
Maria Shriver has written a powerful message for all ages. Get ready for some thoughtful heart, mind and soul work. Just who will you be? Not what your parents wanted you to do, or the expectations of friends, employer, spouse - but what you want. Can you separate the expectations of others from your heart's desire?
Just Who Will You Be? began as a graduation speech to her nephew's high school graduation class. It was so well received that graduates and parents wanted copies of the talk. A book was born.
Around this same time, Maria was going through a life transition from NBC journalist to first lady of California. She faced a question many women face - am I actually motivating myself to succeed or is it the expectations of others that motivates me to "be" in life?
BIG MESSAGE: You're not your age, family history, looks, profession, net worth, social status or other "surface" factors. You are your own special and unique person. Maria Shriver began writing this book as a woman going through an identity transition and finished as a woman of purpose on a mission. That's how Maria Shriver related to me - she was open, honest and spoke from her heart to my heart.
Just Who Will You Be? by Maria Shriver is a great read for women, men, teenagers, mid-life or elderly. The message is the same for all age groups - live life from your heart. Living life is about what you are not who you are.
Very Powerful Book May 7, 2008

I was feeling very lost in my life and this book helped me realize that I was still identifying with my Corporate job that I had left 5 years earlier. This book has shown me the way to look internally and identify who I am. The message in this book has given me the courage to stop living up to society's definitions and standards, to stop identifying with things or a job. This book brought me to tears as I realized why I was stuck in fear in my life and lost. Maria bares her soul and it is helping men and women around the world stop living in fear and find the courage to follow their dreams. Thank you Maria for having the courage to share your struggles along your journey! I am no longer living a life of quiet desperation!
 Super Disappointment May 19, 2008

A very big waste of time reading this book. A Maria Shriver excuse to promote herself as a writer and thinker. I remember when she first appeared as a "journalist" on TV. Everyone knew it was because of her Kennedy connection. This book is about nothing but Maria. Don't waste time reading it.
