“Kristen Glosserman’s If It’s Not Right, Go Left is an upbeat and approachable lifestyle guide that’s structured around eleven transformative lessons….Her presence fills the pages of the book.”
—Foreword Reviews
Everyone gets stuck sometimes. Whether it’s a personal loss, an aimless career, or a difficult breakup, many people find themselves unsure where to take their next steps. Kristen Glosserman—goal-setting strategist, life coach, and mother of four—offers wise guidance and direction, using examples culled from her own inspiring life.
In light of her own family tragedy and personal struggles, Kristen formulated a plan to regain sight of her goals, now made accessible to readers. She heads each section of If It’s Not Right, Go Left with a life lesson, including:
• Begin. Focus. Commit.
• Traditions: Honor Them, Create Them, Keep Them
• If It’s Not Right, Go Left
• Live Directionally
Each chapter builds on the idea that life will happen no matter what, and it’s up to us to respond accordingly. Readers will be drawn to gorgeous illustrations alongside a wealth of constructive lessons in order to accomplish the lifestyle changes they need.
If It’s Not Right, Go Left teaches that connection, communication, and collaboration bring change, and it takes only the actionable guidance offered by Kristen to pivot towards one’s achievable goals.
PRAISE FOR IF IT’S NOT RIGHT, GO LEFT:

Kristen is the one you go to when you need advice, when you need someone to remind you that no matter what the challenges may be, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.
“If It’s Not Right, Go Left is a wonderfully natural direction for Kristen—a chance to share her guidance and wisdom with all.”

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Life coach Glosserman draws on her experiences working through grief and helping others do the same for this simplistic guide. Glosserman's first lesson teaches that one is in control of how to react to events, and suggests that obstacles should be reconceptualized as goals to be achieved via small steps. Other lessons build on this notion. For instance, Glosserman recommends focusing on what is working in one's life when trauma strikes, honoring personal or family traditions to rebuild confidence, and "living directionally" by establishing and working toward goals. The life lesson of the title is used to help those who feel lost or blocked to move forward, while "Life Lesson 9: Stop Wine-ing" focuses on gaining control of one's alcohol consumption—rather than insisting readers cut out alcohol completely, Glosserman's strategy involves cutting down by using alternatives such drinking water from wine glasses, indulging in fragrant cups of tea, or journaling. Nothing here is especially groundbreaking, but those who find themselves in a rut may appreciate the nudges.
