There are 65.8 million working women in America. 75% of them work full time. 60% of working women struggle with how to turnaround their stress. The key component of stress is feeling out of control. Funky to Fabulous reminds readers that "You are the Mayor of You-ville". The reader is the only one who has the power to change their day. The Turnaround Techniques are based on Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques.

Review

"Eli Davidson is a refreshing lightning bolt of authenticity, humor, and wisdom. This book is a simple and delightful way to give yourself easy and applicable tools to immediately live your own fabulous life."

-Marilyn Gill, TV producer (Oprah, Montel, Roseanne)

"I jumped into Eli Davidson's book and found myself, like Alice, down the rabbit hole and into a magnificent world of immediately available light-heartedness that too often seems elusive to too many of us. What an honest, fun, and practical book for working the wonderful wink of life!"

-David Allen, author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

"Eli is a master problem-to-solution expert. Fun is her mantra, and it works!"

-Sally Kirkland, Oscar nominee, Golden Globe winner, and communication skills expert

This review is from: Funky to Fabulous: Surefire Success Strategies for the Savvy, Sassy and Swamped (Hardcover)

Funky to Fabulous is a book filled with pragmatic, easy-to-implement strategies to help women of all ages move from funky to fabulous. I am 60+ years old, and I found this book just as relevant to me, as it is to my daughters and grand-daughter. Eli's writing style is breezy, fun, and easy to read. I sat down with the book on a rainy day, and read right through. I would highly recommend this book for one's own reading pleasure, or as a gift to a woman of any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nor 'For Women Only', February 24, 2007

This review is from: Funky to Fabulous: Surefire Success Strategies for the Savvy, Sassy and Swamped (Hardcover)

Very few of us make it through life without collecting a handfull of battle scars. Like wine, some years are really great. Most years are simply like 'vin ordinaire.' In some years the wine turns to vinegar. It seems that those are the years that give us the incentive to finally grab ourselves and make the changes that we know we should have made long ago.

Ms. Davidson says that this book started when in a period of 18 months she lost her business, marriage and health leaving her with $88,000 of debt.

She found a way to turn around her life. And a lot of it makes sense to both genders. But not all of it. At one point she talks about putting on her Good Idea Boa, slipped into her Tall girl Shoes, and grabbed a tiara. I'd look really funny dressed that way, and I really don't think it would suit my image at all.

Other than that, the questions she asks of her clients, the suggestions and approaches she makes are not 'for women only.' If you are, or if you know of a man struggling with having been fired, divorced, health problems, etc. buy him the book - don't bother getting him a pair of shoes.
