Don't Get Ready, Get Naked [Paperback]

Jan Denise (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2001

"Don't Get Ready, Get Naked," a book of original aphorisms, inspires us to get naked and uncover the greatness that we've been unable to conjure up. It presents naked truths that rely on the witness of the heart.

- You can dress up as somebody else, but what happens when you want to take your clothes off?

- You can only get naked as you.

- Being happy with yourself does more to make you beautiful than any other single thing.

- Never, ever dress up your feelings in nonchalance.

- Don't put a bandage on your knee when it's your heart that's bleeding.

- If you always cover up when you start to feel vulnerable, you'll never know how wonderful vulnerable can feel.

- Don't get ready, get naked.

'Don't Get Ready Get Naked' is a great book to use for an ice breaker at a party. It'll get everyone talking and thinking. "Spend more time living your week than you spend planning it" is a great example of the fun and thoughtful ways Jan's book sets your mind in motion.
