Summary

A #1 New York Times Bestseller

"This book will change lives。"
—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

Now in paperback with a new prologue, the indispensable handbook for becoming the creative force of your own life by the host of the award-winning MarieTV and The Marie Forleo Podcast。


While most self-help books offer quick fixes, Everything is Figureoutable will retrain your brain to think more creatively and positively in the face of setbacks。 In the words of Cheryl Strayed, it's "a must-read for anyone who wants to face their fears, fulfill their dreams, and find a better way forward。"

If you're having trouble solving a problem or reaching a dream, the problem isn't you。 It's that you haven't yet installed the one belief that changes everything。

Marie's mom once told her, "Nothing in life is that complicated。 You can do whatever you set your mind to if you roll up your sleeves。 Everything is figureoutable。"

Whether you want to leave a dead end job, break an addiction, learn to dance, heal a relationship, or grow a business, Everything is Figureoutable will show you how。

In this revised and updated edition, you'll learn:

The habit that makes it 42% more likely you'll achieve your goals。
How to overcome a lack of time and money。
How to deal with criticism and imposter syndrome。

It's more than just a fun phrase to say。 It's a philosophy of relentless optimism。 A mindset。 A mantra。 A conviction。

Most important, it's about to make you unstoppable。

Chapter 1

The Tropicana Orange

My mother has the tenacity of a bulldog, looks like June Cleaver, and curses like a truck driver。 She grew up the daughter of two alcoholic parents in the projects of New­ark, New Jersey。 She learned, by necessity, how to stretch a dollar bill around the block and is one of the most resourceful and industrious people you could ever meet。 She once told me she rarely felt valued, loved, or beautiful, but she held tight to the promise she made to herself that, once she was old enough, she’d find a way to a better life。

As a kid, I remember going through the Sunday paper together and cutting coupons。 She taught me all the different ways to save money。 She also taught me to pay close attention to the free stuff that brands would send you—like recipe books or cooking utensils—if you saved up and mailed in a “proof of purchase。” One of my mom’s most prized possessions was a little transistor radio she got from juice, for free。 The radio was the size, color, and shape of an orange, with a red-and-white-striped antenna sticking out the side like a straw。 She loved that little radio。

My mom is one of those people who is constantly busy。 As a little girl, I knew I could find her somewhere around the house or yard by listening for the tinny sound coming out of that Tropicana orange。 One day I was walking home from school and heard the radio playing off in the distance。 As I got closer, I realized the music was coming from above。 I looked up and saw my mom perched on the roof of our two- story house。 Moooom! Is everything okay? What are you doing all the way up there?!”

She yelled down, “I’m fine, Ree。 The roof had a leak。 When I called the roofer, he said it would be at least five hundred bucks, probably more。 That’s friggin’ nuts! I remembered seeing some extra asphalt in the garage and figured it would just take a few minutes to fix it up。”

Another time, I came home from school and heard the radio buzzing from the back of the house。 Mom was in the bathroom, surrounded by tools and exposed pipes。 Dust particles filled the air。 “Mom, what’s going on?!”

“Oh, I’m just retiling the bathroom,” she said。 “I saw a few cracks and didn’t want it all to get moldy。”

You’ve got to understand, my mom is high school educated and this was the 1980s。 It was a pre-internet, pre-YouTube, pre-Google world。 I never knew where I’d find her or what she’d be doing, but all I had to do was follow the crackle of that radio。

One fall day, I came home late from school and something was dif­ferent。 Everything was dark。 There was an unusual silence。 Something was wrong。 I quietly walked through the house afraid of what I might find。 Where was the sound of the Tropicana orange? Where was my mom? Then I heard clicks and clacks。 I followed that sound and saw my mom huddled over the kitchen table。 It looked like an operating room。 I saw electrical tape and screwdrivers, and spread out in front of her were countless tiny pieces of a dismantled Tropicana orange radio。 “Mom, are you okay? What happened to your radio? Is it broken?”

“It’s fine, Ree。 No big deal。 The antenna got busted and the tuner dial was a little off, so I’m fixing it。”

I stood there for a second, watching her work her magic。 Finally, I asked, “Hey, Mom, how do you know how to do so many different things that you’ve never done before, without anyone showing you how to do it?”

She put down her screwdriver, turned to me, and said, “Don’t be silly, Ree。 Nothing in life is that complicated。 You can do whatever you set your mind to if you just roll up your sleeves, get in there, and do it。 Ev­erything is figureoutable。”

I was transfixed, reveling in and repeating those words in my head: Everything is figureoutable。 Everything is figureoutable。

I literally laughed out loud not once but a few times。 This book is a refreshing kick in the pants that motivates and is a wonderful reminder that the quirky creative people are not alone。 I've felt for as long as I can recall I should be a writer。 I've been working on a cool collaboration with my son but I had somewhat stalled for a bit。。。probably due to confidence。 When I finished Marie's book, I felt like What the #$!% am I waiting for! Everything is Figureoutable! Thank you Marie。

This was a great personal development book that helped me put some of my current problems into perspective。 Ms。 Forleo intertwines her stories, her mother stories, and the stories of others into a wonderful book to motivate and encourage for any issue in any time。

Es un libro muy bueno y el audio libro me encantó por que es leido por la autora。 Marie tiene una forma muy linda y práctica de contar su historia y sus aprendizajes al rededor de su proceso como profesional y emprendedora。Todas las historias y la información compartida es muy valiosa para la vida y da herramientas para lograr encontrarle siempre una forma a todas las situaciones que vivimos sin importar lo imposible que aveces parezcan。 Mujeres que inspiran y ella。

For a creative person feeling stuck or an young entrepreneur this book has great stuff to offer。 As a person in midlife that loves their career I didn't find a huge connection to the book。 There is some good practical advice, but nothing I haven't read before and nothing practical that I felt applied to me。 The writing exercises, although not new or innovative, are something we could all benefit from。 For a creative person feeling stuck or an young entrepreneur this book has great stuff to offer。 As a person in midlife that loves their career I didn't find a huge connection to the book。 There is some good practical advice, but nothing I haven't read before and nothing practical that I felt applied to me。 The writing exercises, although not new or innovative, are something we could all benefit from。 。。。more

Most of the advice seemed very similar to other books on goal setting。

Tja。 Enerzijds heeft Forleo gelijk en kun je met de levenshouding 'HOE gaan we dit aanpakken?' meer bereiken dan met probleemdenken。 Maar toch irriteerde dit boek me。 Dat kan liggen aan de voorlezer van het luisterboek, want die vond ik niet prettig。 Maar daarnaast zijn er nu eenmaal ook omstandigheden waar je in het leven gewoonweg niet omheen kunt en die je (tijdelijk) belemmeren om je eigen weg naar de top te bewandelen。 Daar is in dit soort boeken niet veel ruimte voor, want maakt dat ze me Tja。 Enerzijds heeft Forleo gelijk en kun je met de levenshouding 'HOE gaan we dit aanpakken?' meer bereiken dan met probleemdenken。 Maar toch irriteerde dit boek me。 Dat kan liggen aan de voorlezer van het luisterboek, want die vond ik niet prettig。 Maar daarnaast zijn er nu eenmaal ook omstandigheden waar je in het leven gewoonweg niet omheen kunt en die je (tijdelijk) belemmeren om je eigen weg naar de top te bewandelen。 Daar is in dit soort boeken niet veel ruimte voor, want maakt dat ze me erg gauw vervelen omdat ze van begin tot eind vaak een mantra zijn, een herhaling van dezelfde boodschap: positief denken en aanpakken! En natuurlijk tussendoor een paar tranentrekkende voorbeelden over hoe andere mensen met problemen, of de schrijver zelfs, zijn diepe ellende overwon。 Ten slotte is het de vraag of iedereen naar de top zou moeten (willen) reiken。 Welke top, dan? Van het moderne pyramidespel dat is ontstaan onder coaches, coaches die coaches coachen en coaches die coaches coachen die coaches coachen, enz? Want laten we wel wezen, in de huidige markt is het aanbod van coaches ruim groter dan de vraag en proberen een aantal coaches dat probleem door zich boven de meute uit te verheffen en andere coaches te gaan coachen, etc。 Forleo is daar één van met haar masterclasses, dus zij preekt het ultieme constructieve denken voor de ultieme meritocratie。 Het moet je ding zijn, denk ik。 。。。more

I had this Alice-in-Wonderland vibe about this book as I was scrolling and online shopping for my X-mas break reads。 "Read me。" So I did。 I did not expect much, "it's going to be another coaching book。" I practice trusting my intuition though so I dove in。 It IS another coaching book and somehow it found me just at the right time。 Much-needed (for me) reminders about taking action before one is ready, diving up big stuff into chunks to avoid analysis-paralysis, and the whole approach of things b I had this Alice-in-Wonderland vibe about this book as I was scrolling and online shopping for my X-mas break reads。 "Read me。" So I did。 I did not expect much, "it's going to be another coaching book。" I practice trusting my intuition though so I dove in。 It IS another coaching book and somehow it found me just at the right time。 Much-needed (for me) reminders about taking action before one is ready, diving up big stuff into chunks to avoid analysis-paralysis, and the whole approach of things being figureoutable or my version, "there must be a way to make this work" was just what I needed now。 A light read spruced up with personal stories, citing a few books and other people's stories。 。。。more

I would suppose Ms。 Forleo was in a rush to turn in the manuscript or something because it is evident in her writing。 Sometimes the writing style is as though you would if talking to a child, and sometimes it's repetitive。 I was excited to pick this book up, having known about her work through her entertaining and informative YouTube videos, B-school, and CopyCure, where she gave her all in–but I was so disappointed in this book that I dnf'd it somewhere。I found that this book didn't have much I would suppose Ms。 Forleo was in a rush to turn in the manuscript or something because it is evident in her writing。 Sometimes the writing style is as though you would if talking to a child, and sometimes it's repetitive。 I was excited to pick this book up, having known about her work through her entertaining and informative YouTube videos, B-school, and CopyCure, where she gave her all in–but I was so disappointed in this book that I dnf'd it somewhere。I found that this book didn't have much content or real advice that I hadn't heard of anywhere else。 I wanted to like this book but didn't。 Sorry。 。。。more

Really liked this book, read it right before returning to work after maternity leave。 Author's voice spoke to me and resonated with where I was and what I needed to hear aka Everything is Figureoutable。 First half read easier than last half。 I do think it would benefit from being a bit shorter, as the end repeats itself (although she straight out says she will be repetitive so it sinks in)。 Really liked this book, read it right before returning to work after maternity leave。 Author's voice spoke to me and resonated with where I was and what I needed to hear aka Everything is Figureoutable。 First half read easier than last half。 I do think it would benefit from being a bit shorter, as the end repeats itself (although she straight out says she will be repetitive so it sinks in)。 。。。more

I loved the book (it seems from other reviews that you either loved it or hated it)。 So it was for me。 I loved her unabashed optimism。 I am definately going to remember Everything is Figureoutable!

A book about something all of us have been going through, at some point in our lives。 That moment, when you feel like losing the directions, when you are not sure what you're doing is still meaningful to you, whether your work serve you any purposes anymore。 If you think the book might be just like any other self-help books out there that are marketed specifically to women, you're probably right。 Partially。 What makes this a notch better than others I've read is that, Marie was so authentic, so A book about something all of us have been going through, at some point in our lives。 That moment, when you feel like losing the directions, when you are not sure what you're doing is still meaningful to you, whether your work serve you any purposes anymore。 If you think the book might be just like any other self-help books out there that are marketed specifically to women, you're probably right。 Partially。 What makes this a notch better than others I've read is that, Marie was so authentic, so raw with her emotions。 She said it clear and loud multiple times in the book, that following a dream is not easy, and you should expect to fail, to be hurt, to doubt yourself gazillion times before you can make it。 There's no fantasizing or romanticizing about hardship, but you have to take actions and go through all that to see the light at the end of the tunnel。 That message is exactly what hit home to me。 I'm grateful to be gifted this book at the moment I needed the most。 5*/5* 。。。more

I loved everything about this book。 I listened to it the first time, I’m about to buy the actual book soI can take notes and highlight and and devour it piece by piece。Marie Forleo is who I have always wanted to be。 Her poise, her confidence, her drive, it all shines through in these pages。

This book served a specific purpose for me, which was to energize and motivate me to keep pursuing my business。 It may not be the deepest or most universal book, and I completely understand the critiques。 I was highly skeptical but each time I listened to a part of this book I felt recharged and more inclined towards action。 I will definitely read this again

Stephanie Scott

Down to earth, honest, easy to digest, and makes you inspired, self-confident, and ready to forge ahead in the best direction for you。

Cyndi Marton

I enjoyed this book and already using some of her prompts and lessons。 If you like to journal and write on what you are reading she has a lot of end of chapter lesson。 I know writing down action plans/goals give you more success I just need to do more of that 😉 that being said I will probably get the written book and do the end of chapter lesson at the beginning of 2021。 I recommend this book!

Do what she says if you want to get something done!! Inspiration abounds here。
