Darby Checketts’ newest book is “Dancing in Peanut Butter.” Its subtitle is “How to Handle 100 Stressful, Silly, Stifling Things That Can Happen at School, at Work, and at Home.” The premise of the book is that “stuff happens” in life and some of the stuff is especially sticky stuff. Peanut butter is great on a piece of bread with jam or jelly. It is not helpful on the dance floor, in the classroom, in the conference room, or in the family room. “Dancing in Peanut Butter” is a great resource for students, youth counselors, work team leaders, parents, grandparents, and all others who are helping their friends, family, and work associates avoid the peanut butter dance. The book is the basis for community-based workshops to help individuals develop those “life skills” that can represent peanut butter repellent or peanut butter solvent. It explores 100 colorful, real-life situations and invites the reader to think and think again about how to minimize the peanut butter in your quest to find the light, discover the joy, and unlock the potential to make a difference.

The peanut butter shuffle,

This review is from: Dancing in Peanut Butter (Paperback)
This is a great quick read! At first glance the structure of the book looked odd but as I got into it I recognized numerous "I've been there" situations. Half the book addressed home, family and children while the other half addressed work situations (and workers that act like children).
This book is a great "step one, step two" that you can pass on.

5.0 out of 5 stars
approachable, fun, and practical,
This review is from: Dancing in Peanut Butter (Paperback)
The title of the book really drew me in, and the rest of the book was similarly upbeat and inviting. I think the content would appeal to a wide variety of people. It's a straightforward treatment of many different problematic life situations anyone might face. The book is easy to read, very conversational and companionable. I liked reading it cover-to-cover but it would be great read just by topic too. There's a useful topical list index in the back. I think it'd be an especially good resource for youth counselors (or other "life skill" teachers). It's a positive and fun way to help people rethink how they deal with everyday (and even not-so-everyday) problems.
