Editorial Reviews

Review

"Jane Straus reveals a simple, liberating truth: if you’re enduring then you’re not really living. Enough is Enough! reverberates with wonderful stories of human courage that will inspire you to move forward with your life."
-- Susan Jeffers, author, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway and Life Is Huge!

"Jane Straus has written a deceptively simple book with profound implications. Read the first chapter, and if it does not prompt a deep desire to read the rest of the book and practice her procedures, you may be ready for sainthood and probably don’t need to eat either. This is truly a fine book."
-- Peter Coyote, actor; author, Sleeping Where I Fall

"I have the privilege of inside knowledge. I brought my pain and confusion to Jane Straus and learned from her firsthand. For those who can’t meet her personally, at last you have this book. The clarity, honesty, and integrity of this wise woman’s practice illuminate every page. Read and understand. It’s not her book. It’s yours."
--Rob Nilsson, filmmaker; winner, Camera d’Or, Cannes Film Festival, Grand Prize, Sundance Film Festival

 "Jane Straus writes with great compassion. She makes a crucial connection between living a life of truth and experiencing love, forgiveness, and a wisdom of the heart."
-- Gerald G. Jampolsky, M. D., author, Love is Letting Go of Fear

"Enough Is Enough! awakens us to the wisdom of our own integrity and conscience. It skillfully shows us how living in truth can bless our life."
-- Jack Kornfield, author, A Path With Heart

"In this day and age when endurance is tolerated and even extolled, our society needs to return to some basic values—living in our truth, being one. Jane Straus’s Enough Is Enough! needs to be read by every man and woman who wants to find a life of authenticity and inspiration. This book will immediately turn you in that direction."
-- Daniel Jay Sonkin, Ph.D., psychotherapist, Sausalito, California; author, Wounded Boys/Heroic Men

 "Truly an inspirational book. The author speaks from the heart in a clear, articulate way, weaving examples from clients in many diverse circumstances to bring the reader a message about paying attention to our deepest truth and its healing power. This sounds deceptively simple, but the author aptly describes the psychological and bodily distortions that we humans can go through when in fear and provides a path to connect with the extraordinary within each of us."
-- Mindy S. Rosenberg, psychologist; coauthor, Children and Interparental Violence

"Jane Straus tackles a complex human dynamic with simplicity and clarity. This book has lessons that most of us need to learn."
-- The Reverend Dr. Kikanza Nuri Robins, Presbyterian pastor; author, Unspoken Visions

"Enough Is Enough! reaches into the reader's heart with poignant stories of courage and the author's own candid history, inspiring us to embrace life with enthusiasm, joy and intimacy."--John Gray Ph.D.
Author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

From the Inside Flap

Enough Is Enough!

Are you hindered by fearful, limiting thoughts? I'm not smart enough. It's too late for me. I can't do this alone. Do you long for more joy, challenge, or fulfillment? When you merely endure life, you are surviving, not thriving. You feel resigned rather than inspired—exhausted rather than accomplished. And chances are you know something is missing—but you don't know what to do about it.

Using Enough Is Enough! as your guide, you will discover how your unique symptoms of endurance are holding you back. And you will learn how to calm your fears and let go of the self-judgments that keep you stuck in your rut. By aligning with your deepest personal truths instead of acting from fear, you will release yourself from needless suffering. And you will be inspired to manifest the extraordinary life you were meant to live.

Written by the highly successful seminar leader and life coach Jane Straus, Enough Is Enough! takes you on a compelling spiritual, emotional, and intellectual journey toward a rewarding life that is truly worth living.

In this remarkable book, Jane Straus tells her own story of transformation with vulnerability and humor and shares the experiences of clients, friends, and seminar participants who have also been able to break free of the shackles of endurance. Enough Is Enough! offers encouragement, insights, and powerful exercises to ensure that the next chapter of your life story is about thriving joyfully as the unique person you have always been and the extraordinary one you are still becoming.

5.0 out of 5 stars An empowering book that will take you in the direction of your dreams!, November 7, 2005
By 
Rev. Marie (Rev. Marie Jones) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Enough is Enough!: Stop Enduring and Start Living Your Extraordinary Life (Hardcover)
So all this time I've been "enduring," I could have been thriving! That's the lesson of "Enough is Enough!" by life coach and consulting expert Jane Straus, who tells us that just enduring life is no way to happiness.

In this powerful and truly empowering book, Straus shows how we let our fears, limitations and beliefs lead us into a life where we are just going through the motions. Until we break the bonds of just "enduring," we cannot get to that marvelous place where we aren't just surviving, we are truly thriving, and this book is chock full of tips, tools and techniques for getting us there.

Using plenty of personal experience, plus that of clients she's coached to happiness and success, Straus takes us on a journey that begins by identifying the symptoms of endurance, which include not believing you have enough talent or time, ignoring your feelings, hoping things will change someday, distracting yourself with food or busywork, and more. Once we know HOW we endure, we can then work to change our habits and live a life with more integrity and authenticity.

The chapters help us to find ways to drop our "acts" and find our real inner drives, how to let our heart be free to tell us what it wants, how to forgive ourselves and others so we can move past the past, how to think outside of our comfort zone, and how to constantly find inspiration around us to keep us going in the direction of our dreams.

The author's use of her own personal journey and those of her clients really add so much depth and insight, and reading about how others reached their "enough is enough" point is inspiring and motivating. This is a book that can change so many aspects of your life, as it focuses on getting out of the "just getting by" mode and into a more proactive and enthusiastic way of being in the world.

"Enough is Enough!" is a book that will change the way you look at the life you are now living, and help you shape it into the life you've always wanted to live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical advice that can help you impact your daily life immediately, November 27, 2005
By 
This review is from: Enough is Enough!: Stop Enduring and Start Living Your Extraordinary Life (Hardcover)
I found this book very easy to read and, as strange as this might sound, I felt better immediately after reading it--like I really could change specific aspects of my life NOW if I was willing to see myself truthfully. The author uses personal experience, and the experiences of people she has coached in her professional life, to demonstrate how to stop enduring people, things, etc., in your life and start choosing to live a life that is aligned with your higher truth. While some books require extensive exercises and cumbersome companion workbooks, this book is much less threatening and provides thoughtful questions (she titles these "Time In") for your own consideration after she provides important "food for thought". One thing in particular that I appreciated about the author's approach is that living your life to the fullest is a process that can be started today, no matter what your situation. For example, one of her chapters is titled, "Daily Tonic for an Extraordinary Life" and she offers the following, "Living our truth cannot be for some future goal or noble end; our commitment to releasing judgment and limiting beliefs, practicing positive affirmation, honoring our emotions, and striving for win-win is the daily tonic for breaking free of our endurance." Wonderful stuff that I highly recommend to any reader!
