Most of us wonder what we’re doing. We float around in the glass half-empty, gaze out into the world of possibilities, and wonder if we should get off of our raft and climb out. Maybe even today you asked yourself:Is it too late to do that thing that made me so happy when I was young? Could what matters most to me finally be the center of my life? Can I really trust this yearning voice in myhead and longing in my heart? Do I feel like I’m where I belong?

In this incredible collection of stories, Hoda Kotb reveals individuals who reached a critical point in their lives to suddenly find they’re being pulled in a completely new direction. By following their passions, their gut, and their heart, these people learned their life purpose was utterly unlike what they’d planned. From the investment banker who became a minister after years of working in Manhattan, to the young woman from a blue-collar background whose passion took her to the Cordon Bleu, or the high-powered PR exec who found herself drawn to a pioneering residential community, the stories inWhere They Belong come from an array of ordinary individuals who have discovered the power of embracing change. Hoda also interviews celebrities, such as actress/producer Roma Downey, comedienne Margaret Cho, and boxer Laila Ali, who have all pursued their passions to find fulfillment.

With examples of perseverance, self-reflection, and new attitudes on life, Where They Belong is a motivating and inspirational book at finding the right path for your personal journey.
