Jonathan Robinson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1998

The self-help philosophy of the last two decades is that one can have it all, but at a cost: it's going to take a lot of work. A good relationship, healthy marriage, or positive self-image requires daily maintenance and constant polishing of personal growth skills. Who has the time to be fulfilled, let alone happy?

If you're tired of having to wade through pages of blah, blah, blah to find real nuggets of wisdom and useful tools for self empowerment, then this book is for you. Jonathan has done a wonderful job of distilling the wisdom from many self empowerment gurus and practices, and his own personal and professional experiences, to present outstandingly easy to use and powerful tools for success and happiness. All this in a book that's short, sweet, and enjoyable to read. Its my choice as the best self-help book to give friends and family as we enter the new millenium.

5.0 out of 5 stars A handy resource for creative inspiration, June 10, 2000

This review is from: Shortcuts to Bliss: The 50 Best Ways to Improve Relationships, Connect with Spirit & Make Your Dreams Come True (Paperback)

Since reading this helpful book last year, I've gone back to it from time to time, whenever I felt I was starting to lose focus of what I wanted to accomplish creatively. Although some of the author's tactics are too touchy-feely for me (e.g., massages at the office? I don't think so!), I did find several helpful tips on time management, organization, and motivation. Ever felt like all you're doing is working and doing chores and wonder how you're going to ever be able to get around to the creative stuff you really want to accomplish? Well, the author has useful advice on this and getting motivated in the first place. I've been using his ideas for "adult rewards" and daily prioritizing and they've really helped me. I just bought a copy of the book for a friend who also found it very helpful. I highly recommend the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredibly helpful book. One of the best I've read., February 22, 1999

I first saw Oprah talking about this book a couple of weeks ago, and what she said made me want to buy the book. Shortcuts to Bliss is very reader friendly. It has a lot of methods for improving various aspects of life. I found the book to be both practical and fun to read. For example, the method to never have another argument again has really worked for me, as has the method to find inner peace in under three minutes. What the author has done is take the best ideas and most effective methods from hundreds of self improvement books and put them all in one book! This book has saved me a lot of time, and everyone I know who I have given it to has said they loved it.
