This arrogant self-help book is packed with trite platitudes posing as insights. This Mimi Paris (I hope that's pseudonym) is just like any other self-help guru, execpt that she's not able to fill up an entire book. My wife was reading this, and we had a terrific time laughing at it. If you're looking for more than a good chuckle, buy a different book.

No insights. Nothing worth the time or money...even for a tiny book. A one trick pony that repeats one simple concept page after page. A disappointment.

Don't waste your money here. The 'truths' presented are inane. They are so one dimensional that only a paper doll could find them useful. The same simplistic statements are stated over and over without any context or elaboration. The best part of the book is that it is extremely short and a really fast read.

Don't waste the 30 minutes it takes to read (and absorb!) these 'truths'. They are so basic and incomplete that it is like being told to "look both ways before crossing the street". The writing is heavy-handed and arrogant, and has none of the charm or insights of the "What I Learned in Kindergarten" books. Though overcoming childhood adversity and earning a degree is admirable, it doesn't make someone an 'expert'. Use your own common sense: find a different book written with expertise that has insight and value.

What a great read! Ms. Paris is able to simply the things that are really important in "Size Matters". This book makes you sit back and focus on the many positve forces that are in our everyday life that we constantly ignore. Take "Size Matters" into your work or your home and share some of the insightful ideas with your coworkers and family. A truly motivating book!

I love Mimi Paris's authentic and direct style mixed with lots of good humor and common sense. Her book is a nice guide to a successful life beginning with each of us taking responsibility for our own lives.

Dr. MiMi Paris' book, "Size Matters: And 21 Other Truths You Should Know to Enjoy a Lifetime of Effortless Success", delivers the goods. This small package is full of concepts that are potentially so life changing, and life enriching, that I was amazed to find so many of them in one place. Her succinct, direct style makes each concept easy to understand, and you will find these "truths" to be the basis of a new way of perceiving the world, and your role in it. It's about effortless success, and until you read this book you may not understand that concept either, but you surely will after you have read it.

MiMi has the proper foundation of life's challenges mixed with a solid education to help you look at your life without filters. This is definitely a book you will want to share with your work associates and friends-just make sure and buy them their own copy. Yours will be highlighted and have important scribbles and notes all through it as you discover your own truths! I have already given one copy away and I am buying a copy for each of my other 15 employees!

This book looks small, but it is a powerful guide to rethinking the map you are following through life. It is the book that will never leave your night stand, and you will not share with others. But, you will want to buy everyone you know their very own copy to treasure!

What a wonderful book. It is truly a guide to live by. When I picked it up, I read it from cover to cover. Since that time, I have read each chapter again several times. The words of the author, come from a person who has lived what she talks about. I throughly enjoyed and benefited from this terrifice book.
