My husband and I bought "Shattering the Glass Slipper" for our godson. I wanted to read it myself before I sent it to him. I LOVE the book and would like to get other copies to give as graduation gifts. I have thought of ordering extra copies to lend to patients (and their parents) from my medical practice. I provide medical care for teens and young adults, and I have so many patients who would benefit from the wisdom found in this book.

After just reading the intro, I put the book down so that I could e-mail one of my sisters in California. I was so inspired by just the introduction that I was excited to have her read it! I strongly suggested that she order it on Amazon.
Boy, it's a good book. So far, I've had quite a few 'aha' moments and I'm only on the chapter on vision. I'm really soaking it in. As I am reading, it's hitting some points that I can relate to in my life, and recognize some that relate to some family members, especially a couple of my nephews that are in their 20's. They have that 'somebody, someday is going to give me the big break' mentality.
I didn't want to put it down. I think I'm going to have to grab a pen and paper (I don't want to write in the book since my husband's next in line to read it) and jot some notes.

I tremendously enjoyed this book. Its thrust is that "fairy tales" don't happen in real life--success happens because you dream, plan, work, plan, work, and stick with it. It gives you tools to help you see where you want to go and how to get there. I finished it and immediately gave it to my wife to read, and after that my high school junior is going to read it. I wish I had read this when I was his age--I believe I would have avoided a lot of problems! Easy to read--full of great stuff--an excellent book!
