Editorial Reviews:

Book Description
"Maria Shriver is wise, funny and caring--and it all comes through in her winning guide to life, JUST WHO WILL YOU BE? We're lucky to have her show us the way."
-- Tom Brokaw

"Maria teaches all of us in the graduate program of life to seek meaning through the joy of following your heart. Just the kind of advice a heart surgeon cherishes."
--Mehmet Oz, M.D.

"Everything Maria Shriver does is a testament to how deeply she respects and cares about people; all people, all over the world. She really does. She is as charming and funny as she is brilliant and profoundly humane."
--Anne Lamott

"Maria Shriver is real, vulnerable, humble, honest (just like her book) and not afraid to say so. A lovely book by a lovely person."
--Danielle Steel

"This honest, straight-talking, profound little book is worth a lifetime of reflection. It calls readers of all ages to think again-and differently-about who they've been in the past and who they want to be now. This book is a life-stopper, a truly universal piece. It's a must for everyone-of any age."
--Sister Joan Chittister

"Every graduate (of anything) ought to be given a copy of this book along with their diploma. There's wisdom, compassion and truth between these covers. For anyone -- at any age."
--Linda Ellerbee, Executive Producer, "Nick News"

"I've learned that asking ourselves not just what we want to be, but who we want to be is important at every stage of our lives, not just when we're starting out in the world. That's because in a way, we're starting out fresh in the world every single day."

Just Who Will You Be? is a candid, heartfelt, and inspirational book for seekers of all ages. Inspired by a speech she gave, Maria Shriver's message is that what you do in your life isn't what matters. It's who you are. It's an important lesson that will appeal to anyone of any age looking for a life of meaning.

In her own life, Shriver always walked straight down her own distinctive path, achieving her childhood goal of becoming "award-winning network newswoman Maria Shriver". But when her husband was elected California's Governor and she suddenly had to leave her job at NBC News, Maria was thrown for a loop. Right about then, her nephew asked her to speak at his high school graduation. She resisted, wondering how she could possibly give advice to kids, when she was feeling so lost herself. But in the end she relented and decided to dig down and dig deep, and the result is this little jewel.

Just Who Will You Be? reminds us that the answer to many of life's question lie within -- and that we're all works in progress. That means it's never too late to become the person you want to be.

Now the question for you is this: Just who will you be?

5 out of 5 stars Fantastically inspiring   July 8, 2008
This is a wonderful book and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's inspiring and thought provoking, taking you beyond "me" to "we" and then back to "me" again in a fascinating study of how none of us are ever finished growing and developing. Its words empower you to change and grow no matter what your age or situation. It's short and sweet, but full of wisdom. I read it in under an hour (so no excuses that you are too busy!), and I know I will refer to it again and again. If you are experiencing change in your life (and who isn't these days?) this is definitely the book for you.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent Book   July 6, 2008
I enjoyed reading this book. It was surprising to me that we all go through the same struggles in life whether we are rich or poor. I will recommend this book to any woman struggling with personal issues or identity issues.




5 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece   July 6, 2008
 23 out of 23 found this review helpful

Maria Shriver's creative and unique book inspires and reminds me that life is full of possibilities. It is so great that a speech she prepared for her nephew's high school graduation became a best selling book! There is beauty in her writing as she shares her wisdom in poetry. I love this verse:

"Cause when I feel lousy
Or lost or I'm nervous
I feel better about me
When I am of service"

With humor and grace she has written a masterpiece with few words.

Another masterpiece of writing, which inspires me, is Ariel & Shya Kanes' Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment. This is a book that I read and reread because within the pages I find myself feeling well, centered, and comfortable in my own skin. As Marie Shriver's book asks the question "Just Who Will You Be?", I have found my answers by learning how "to be" in books written by the Kanes.



4 out of 5 stars Great gift for Graduates   July 5, 2008
I was hoping this book would be a little longer but it had a lot of good information and advise for how short it was.


5 out of 5 stars Just Who Will You Be?   June 29, 2008
Great book idea for graduation gift! Not politicaly motivated, but wonderful ways of thinking to enter a new stage of you life, or the rest of your life. Small book to read which lets you digest the information.
