5.0 out of 5 stars THE book to buy if you really are serious., August 1, 2007

By	Marjorie Du Feu (Naples, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is totally crammed with tips, anecdotes and practical advice. Not just a quick, easy, entertaining read, but also a workbook with practical exercises that if you actually take the time and effort to do, are amazingly effective.
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of the Dummies genre, as to me they seem a bit condescending and perhaps lacking in depth, but I'm now a convert. I just could not believe how much was packed into this one volume. It's much more than the title suggests.
