review 1: I am a long-time subscriber of "SELF" magazine and was looking forward to reading the editor Lucy Danziger's book. I loved the premise of the book where the different aspects of your life (family, work, kids, personal time, etc.) are tied to a room in a house. For example, the bathroom is tied to your health and body image because that is where most people go to contemplate those things.After the initial explanation of the book's premise, it falls short on offering useful advice. I'm a self-help book junkie and am always looking for ideas to help me to look on the bright side and get the most out of my days, but instead found unhelpful anecdotes about women struggling with their own lives. Being a single woman with no children, I admit that I skimmed over the lengthy chapt... moreers dealing with marriage and kids.
review 2: I found a lot of helpful stuff in this book. The pearls of wisdom at times gave me an ah-ha moment while other times it just made for a good read. My biggest complaint about this book is it focuses so much on married women and women with children. I realize a lot of women who will pick up this are married with children but it just reinforced to me at times that our culture is very centered around families with children while some of us either struggling to have children or who choose to not have children. The chapter on the children's room didn't once discuss a couple dealing with infertility and how that may effect your emotional children's room. Also not a single woman that was interviewed for this book is in a lesbian relationship. less
