review 1: I picked up this book only because a friend of mine posted a few notable sections of it on Facebook. My life wasn't falling apart when I read it nor do I usually like books that smack so blatantly of self-help. It was well written and an easy read - I cruised through it in a couple of days while commuting on the train. While it wasn't a 'life-changing' book for me, it successfully reminded me to keep things in perspective and was comforting about life in general, without asking me to be overly-introspective. If you're looking to lightly explore some emotions and be reminded of those things that are important in life, this is a good way to get a quick dose of that.
review 2: Quite possibly the worst written self-help type book ever written, and that certainl... morey covers some ground. This is not to say that I think the author is wrong on every point, simply that the new age twaddle of "going where the love is" and "living in the spirit" overwhelms the bits that do make sense. Her points two and three are hardly news to anyone, but at least they have a tangential relationship to reality. The chapter on "letting go," while doubtless sensible advice as a statement is turned into complete muck. How bad was this book? It was so bad that I actually felt I had to finish it, to see if the author could rise any higher in her cloud-cuckoo land. And I was not disappointed. The last two chapters are the sort of thing I used to spout after an evening of bong hits, though alas those efforts never got me a book contract. But if you've avoided both the wacky weed and those who use it, here's a chance for you to see what you've been missing. Without getting your clothes smelly or facing demands to drive others to a convenience store for more ring dings. less
