Review
------
Freedom Seeker is a modern-day manifesto for those who seek to make the journey from trampled and trapped to
alive and free. (Jonathan Fields, author of How to Live a Good Life and Founder, Good Life Project)
Women too often find themselves trapped by their own expectations, the expectations of others, and the pursuit of
conventional - often materialistic - success. As they become increasingly imprisoned and weighed down by obligations,
guilt, rules and the pressures of modern life, women see their early potential and ideals evaporate. Freedom Seeker
offers a way out: an invaluable road- to help women recognize the problem, trust their own instincts and, ultimately,
break free. (Carol Bellamy, former Executive Director of UNICEF)
We live in times when building a career on our core values and vision (rather than on ones being dictated to us), is
becoming increasingly possible. Beth is one of the pioneers in this new heady world of escapees and freedom seekers. The
misconception that seeking freedom or escaping is running away from reality couldn't be further from the truth. Seeking
freedom is finding one's true north. It is a struggle, and one of the most important journeys you'll ever take. Beth is
the perfect guide for your most important quest yet. (Ben Keene, Head of The Escape School, Founder of Tribewanted &
Rebel Book Club)
The search for a life we will love, not a life we have 'done', is not always linear. Enter Freedom Seeker and with it a
safe pair of hands, a fresh new voice and above all, a well-lit path to find your way. Part toolbox, part wise tome and
many a hilarious, honest missive in between, Beth Kempton's Freedom Seeker is a correction of the flawed reliance on the
generic prescription of "happy... now!" Instead this book takes you on a personal journey to find your own curvy, bumpy
line to your true self, and what you love. (Sarah Dickinson, Co-Founder & Managing Director, THNK The School of Creative
Leadership)
Beth Kempton is a warrior against cynicism. In her quest to find the keys to freedom, Beth has found many inspirational
tales of other people breaking the chains of routine and finding the path to a better life. Impossible to be cynical
about that! (Ollie Stone-Lee, BBC Radio 4 Today Programme)
In Freedom Seeker, Beth Kempton examines the intricacies of a complex universal experience that often goes agonizingly
unspoken: feeling trapped. Through personal reflection and shared stories, she opens our eyes to transformative ways to
discover - or rediscover - the feeling of what it means to be free. With each chapter Beth graciously hands us the very
keys to open our own cages, allowing us to liberate ourselves, unfurl our wings and fly! (Tracey Clark, author of
Elevate the Everyday: A Photographic Guide to Picturing Motherhood)
It is seldom you get to read something so beautifully written and filled with immeasurable and unconditional inspiration
as Freedom Seeker. Not only will you read Beth Kempton's book once, you will underline the words that speak to you,
memorize the passages that are vital to your wellbeing, and read it again and again when you are wandering or lost and
need a friend to help you find your way. It is an honour for me to highly recommend, even insist, that you add it to the
list of well-read books in your library. (Jo Packham, Editor-in-Chief, Where Women Create, Where Women Cook & Where
Women Create Business)
Although I already do what I love, there are still times I want to 'live more and worry less'. Freedom Seeker came at
just the right moment. With practical and inspiring tasks Beth helped me think about what matters most in life. She
showed me how to free myself from my daily routine, be more aware of the choices I have and make life more fulfilling
and inspirational. (Irene Smit, Creative Director, Flow magazine)
Freedom Seeker speaks to the expansive spirit in all of us that sometimes gets crushed by the pressures of daily life,
or suppressed by fear. This book will show you how to liberate that spirit, and be truly happy living in alignment with
your heart. (Amy Butler, designer, author and creator of Blossom magazine)
When I quit my corporate job to pursue my passions I thought I'd automatically freed myself from the cage of external
expectations. But just like with Beth Kempton's story and those of her featured Freedom Seekers, I needed to define what
freedom really meant to me so I could eventually free myself. Beth's tested framework and Freedom Keys serve as a
valuable guide and companion on the journey to finding your flock and taking flight. (Jennifer Lee, author of The
Right-Brain Business Plan)
