I really loved reading Michele Woodward's new book. Her essays give wonderful and humorous prespective about what is really important in today's world. Written with lots of common sense each essay made me think and reflect about my own life. Not tiresome or preachy which some of this genre can be. The Way of Transition essay especially hit home, saying that is always a new beginning after a dark period in one's life. Just a delightful book!

This review is from: Lose Weight, Find Love, Declutter and Save Money (Paperback)

Ever read something and find yourself (wine glass in hand), shouting YES, THAT IS EXACTLY IT! That's the experience I had when reading Michele Woodward's essays about the dilemmas we all face, the excuses we all hide behind, and the ways in which we try not to look at them until we have to. Luckily, if we're reading the book, we're also attempting to do something that works a bit better. The genius of these essays is that they sneakily apply effective coaching principles in a way that makes you feel like you've just heard the answer from a close girlfriend over dinner.
