Book Description

Publication Date: March 2002

"People are very, very willing to offer their advice and all you need to do is ask," reveals sailing entrepreneur Marti McMahon in Life Messages: Inspiration for the Woman's Spirit. She's absolutely right. Impassioned women-from author Isabel Allende to designer Laurel Burch, from Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey to artist Jo Hanson-share their insights on personal topics such as overcoming fear and obstacles, maintaining self-esteem, embracing life's turning points, and recognizing mentors. Life Messages is a book of hope, courage, and inspiration for women. Culled from over thirty one-on-one interviews, author Josephine Carlton captures the essential qualities, attributes, and motivators of successful women from all walks of life. Readers will be captivated by the uplifting personal quotes, short vignettes and anecdotes which illustrate how these women achieved success in their lives, both personal and professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!! FIVE STARS!!, May 26, 2002

"addisono" (Santa Barbara, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Life Messages: Inspiration For The Woman's Spirit (Hardcover)

I bought this book with the intention of giving it to my mother, but after reading some of the inspiring stories about the incredible drive and hardship these women have overcome, I puchased another copy for myself. The books layout is straight forward and easy to follow. I would instantly recommend this book to anyone, man or woman. Many thanks to the author for assembling such a diverse and interesting group of women. This is truly a unique inspirational book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Messages of hope when you're having a bad day, April 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Life Messages: Inspiration For The Woman's Spirit (Hardcover)

There are a couple books I keep around to read when I'm having one of those weird days when things are just not going well. This is one of them. Really good messages from many women about how they cope with the crises that life throws at us. Short messages, chapters, easy to read just a little bit and put it down for later. Reading this book just makes me feel better. Also sent one to my mother.
