Throughout the last ten years, I've read many self help and inspirational books plus have listened to countless tapes and CDs on the same subject. But somehow, this little book sums it all up in a nutshell. In other words, a quick, easy read! After all, who has the time these days to read a 500 page tome or listen to tapes for 30+ days on how to think positively? Not only that, the author has presented the valuable lessons of a rewarding life in a most delightful way. The parable begins with a little turtle who stumbles one day and ends up on his shell facing life upside down. Although, in his eyes his fate appears to be doomed, he soon learns to see things from another perspective at this new angle. He see things he never saw before -- treetops, clouds, butterflies, mountains, etc. During the time he is in this uncomfortable situation, however, he gains an abundance of knowledge and insight about what is most important in life. Situations he took for granted and accepted as truth in the past are now seen in a new and more positive light. I LOVED the story and highly recommend it for young and old alike. No need to buy tons of self help books any longer ---this one says it all. I bought a copy for my 25 year old son for Christmas and plan to buy more as gifts for family and friends this year.

This was one wonderful book. If you take your upsets in your life and see the blessings derived from them, you will not be as discouraged during your time of trial. I really appreciated this book during a time when it was speaking directly to my need. I shared this book with my neighbor and she said the same thing. You will be very inspired by this reading. It is worth buying more than one to give as a gift too.

This is a wonderfully helpful book that enables you to organize your time and your life in quick, simple,practical steps. I like it, its useful no matter what life changes you might want to make. It inspired me to keep moving on to the next level to achieve my goals, and I will be able to use it over and over again for the rest of my life.

Lessons Of The Turtle: Living Right Side Up by Steve Goodier (founder and publisher of the e-zine 'Your Life Support System) is an engaging and spiritual parable about a turtle who gets turned on his back. Unable to right himself, he fears he is going to die... yet this is his one chance to truly reexamine his life and how to open oneself to change, hope, and an uplifting future. Goodier articulately expounds on the turtle's dilemma to everyday life and how human beings can open themselves to new and better things. Lessons Of The Turtle is a gentle, memorable, insightful story, metaphor, and self-help book for readers of all ages.
