5.0 out of 5 stars
Best Self-help book I've ever read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Count Your Life With Smiles, Not Tears (Paperback)
I have tried so many self-help books, but Count Your Life With Smiles,Not Tears was the first self-help book that got me to actually improve myself by all of the interactive exercises. Steve Jaffe's poems are very moving and forced me to find out what problems have been blocking me for most of my life.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing.,
This review is from: Count Your Life With Smiles, Not Tears (Paperback)
I've only gotten through the first dozen or so pages, but I've already found several ridiculous spelling mistakes, making the book look like a slapdash, sloppy production. That in itself is a minor thing. However, the whole book appears to be composed almost entirely of sentimental, poorly written drivel that I hesitate to call poetry--on one page is a bad poem, and on the opposite page is a blank space upon which you are presumably supposed to write your own bad poetry, all in the name of expressing your "personal feelings".
If I wanted to read terrible formulaic rhymes, I would have gone back and looked at my own teenage verses. I had hoped this would be a much more intellectual, professional piece of work, with proven journaling techniques and thought-provoking exercises, but unfortunately that is not the case. If you have a university education and any background in/affection for truly good poetry, I would say this book is not for you.
