No Regrets, April 13, 2004
I've been reading self help books for 25 years but this one is the one that changed my life. The stories combined with practical tools and exercises helped me to make the changes I've wanted to make forever, but simply couldn't until this book. I've always tried to be what you OTHERS wanted me to be. That is a lot of work, and not very satisfying. The *Questions Worth Asking* were wonderful. The one that really made me stop and think was: When I'm 80, what will I regret having done or not done? My answer, which shocked me -- was to dance. So, at the magic age of 45, I started salsa classes, and I'm having the time of my life! This book taught me how to be fearless and how to live my dreams. Thank you, Stephanie!

Life's Lessons Dor Women: 7 Essential Ingredients for a bala, April 14, 2004
I love this book. As always the Chicken Soup stories are wonderful and in this new book they perfectly relate to each topic they introduce. But what's incredible about Life Lessons for Women is that it presents a simple, do-able plan to simplify and enrich your life. Somehow Marston makes you feel as if this is the book you'll truly incorporate into your life. The vision of what your life will become is believable. Looking at issues like "Recognize What's Important" and making a "Top Ten Values You Use to Define Yourself" and evaluating whether they are reflected in your everyday life immediately changes your perspective and gives you the nudge needed to rearrange priorities. Through reading this book, you will give yourself permission to put yourself at the top of your "to do list." This is a well-balanced, complete guide for changing your life, presented in a way that you can immediately start applying it and reap the benefits from the get go. A must for anyone from a stressed-out professional to a frazzled mom!

Hotter and More Nurturing than Chicken Soup, April 13, 2004
By A Customer
Listen, I'm not your average Chicken Soup reader. (The books are fine. They're just not my particular cup of...tea, soup, or what have you.) But I have two other wonderful books by Marston on my shelf, namely her parenting book, "The Magic of Encouragement," and her book for midlife women, "If Not Now When,"---both of which I love and return to often. So, on impulse, I picked up Marston's Chicken Soup/Life Lessons book last night, and I'm already a happy grrrllll as a result. (A good self-help book that's also fun to read is truly a thing of beauty---and all too rare.) Okay, opening at random, page 201, "Create a Passion Kit," to bring "a sense of joy, creativity and playfulness back in your life.." Hey, which one of us wouldn't benefit from a little of that?! (And the book is packed with delightful stories to illustrate Marston's suggestions.) Page 194: "It's time to be outrageous. What do you have to lose?" What indeed? In short, it's a smart, charming, useful, extremely entertaining book. Buy it. You won't be sorry. I'm here on Amazon because I'm planning to buy a few more copies as gifts for friends.
