Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Life in the Nineties is fast-paced, picking up speed with each passing year. Here Orsborn, a former public relations executive turned author, conveniently asserts that most problems can be solved in a day. She leads readers through a self-guided process consisting of hourlong exercises. The author encourages the use of tarot cards and meditation during specific parts of the day. While many ideas presented here are not new, the single-day format is intriguing and will surely be popular with many. Balancing the less traditional ideas are some solid ways of self-help. Although this book is not essential, libraries needing to augment self-help collections should consider.?Priscilla Davis Dann, Gates Mills P.L., Cleveland

This is a superb book, in the top 5 of my recommendations to my clients, students, and friends, because it works just as Carol Orsborn assures you that it works.

Period. And, she explains why it works as you are finding it working with you. It is well-written and interesting, and powerfully life-changing. And, there is not a one of us who truly can not give ourself one day to ourselves... Love yourself, and explore your illuminated way to your happier, more effective path. Waging Peace!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life!, April 19, 1999

Of all the self-help books I have read this one is definately the best. Not only did it help me, but it literally felt good to read it. The author suggests setting aside a day to work through the book. I was not able to do that so I read and worked the exercises as I could get to them. I made time to work on it every day and in 5 or 6 days had completed it. As a result, I think that I was much more aware of the process and the changes that were occuring within me. Some of the changes were pretty small, but they made a huge difference. It was like turning a Kaleidescope slightly to form a completely new picture! The copy of the book that I read was checked out from a library. I will be ordering my own to use in the future because I plan to go through the book again within the next year. The author asks the reader to pick out a specific problem or area to concentrate on as you work through the book. Most people have more than one problem so I am going to keep this book on hand right next to my aspirin!

I have found that solving problems is, at least in business, traditionally a left brain focused attack. This book gives great ideas about how to let your right brain kick in and intuit higher level solutions for issues that would otherwise have us unsettled for days. The promise of a 24 hour solution may seem to be stretching it a bit, however, I personally have had this intuitive right brain approach kick in in an amazingly quick time span and with an unusual and innovative approach and result. My advice, get the book and try it - only dismiss what you have tried and personally found to be ineffective. Until you experience this type of a process (operative word - experience!), you just will not know which approach is most effective, will you?
