I've read lots of self-help books, especially on self-discovery, time management etc.

7 Habits is probably the best one for dealing with traditional time management. However, it doesn't help much when you are confused about what you want to do, your roles...

Doing Less and Having More focuses on figuring out what you want, overcoming your fears, and putting your dream life into action. It is densely packed with a variety of information that integrates a complete view of life management. Even though I am a natural speed reader, I was forced to stop and take breaks after every chapter just so I could think about its impact on my life.

One of the best books I've ever read and one I should re-read regularly in order to make these principles part of my life.

This is a straightforward, passionate work. The author shows you how to tap back into the "real you" that so easily gets lost in the shuffle of daily living. It helped me to focus on what direction I want to take my life, what specific actions I should take over the next three months to make it happen, and what I should eliminate from my daily routine to make room for what I want. Inspirational yet practical. This book had a profound impact on my thought process and beliefs..

I read the amazon reader reviews before I bought the book. Yet I must admit that I am a bit disappointed with the purchase. The principles in the book about dream making is nothing new at all. The book tries to relate a concept of 'ease' with a life working towards your dream. But it is not very convincing to me. And the 5-step process on finding your dream is a typical method that can be found in many other self-help books.

"Wow! What a great book! Marcia Wieder's "Doing Less and Having More" is really inspirational. In my work as a speaker, author and motion picture director, I continually read books, and Marcia's book is *unique* and helps me develop ease for making my big dreams come true and finishing my film, "LIVING, the motion picture." I found Marcia's book so valuable that I read every word.

If someone would have told me Success was this simple, I'd have been rich along time ago! Marcia's lesson is so EASY - Be clear about what you want, then remove obstacles along the way. I wish my parents would have let me in on this secret when I was young - I wholeheartedly suggest parents teach these principles to our children. We CAN have what we want! Good, fast read with lots of real-life stories. Thanks Marcia for spelling it all out!

I am re-reading portions of this book. Marcia Wieder's "Doing Less and Having More" is really inspirational. In my work as a speaker, author and motion picture director, I continually read books, and Marcia's book is *unique* and helps me develop ease for making my big dreams come true. I found Marcia's book so valuable that I read every word. I have seen Marcia give a workshop, and she's dynamic and uplifting -- in person. Her message is so powerful that I'm reading her new book, "Making Your Dreams Come True." Watch for her PBS special television program.

I loved this book and this author. She has a unique style and topic of writing. I enjoyed it so much, that I heard she was speaking at a local event, and I went to go see her and she signed my book!
Very good book to find your passion and purpose in life and how to use that and do that while making a living doing what you love.

I loved this book, Marcia Wieder is an excellent writer.

I recommend this book, and she shows you how to achieve your dreams.
