Amazing is what I achieved in my professional and personal life after applying what I read in this book!

Being a principal at a big consulting firm, I'm responsible for some very challenging (to say the least...) projects. Stress is a constant in my professional life. At home, I've 2 stepdaughters, one with 15 years-old, an awful temper and a I-know-everything-and-I-do-what-I-want attitude. Stress, again, when (ever) I arrive home from work.

Until I read this book, my life had been pretty lousy: fights at home all the time, long hours (to compensate for the lack of concentration) at work, weekends too short to recover, a lot of illnesses (recurring colds, collitis, allergies, ...), overweight, you name it!

Now, I REALLY feel great: I lost a lot of weigth, my famliy life is better, I'm a lot more productive at work, ...

Get it, read it, use it, apply it!

I acquired this book from an ex-boyfriend who acquired it from my ex-best girlfriend who lives with my ex-husband. Sound complicated? Well, it was. So was my life until I picked up this book. You do NOT have to be a "business" person to benefit from this book. I was a single mom of a 4 year old daughter, unemployed, no car, being evicted from my house and living with a guy that was addicted to metamphetamines and burglarized homes for a living. The day I opened "Cool, Calm & Collected" my life changed 180 degrees. My daughter & I moved out (within 21 days)into our own 2 bdrm apt., I got a full-time job, a cute car and a new stable, responsible boyfriend (all within 3 months). This was almost five years ago and I still pick-up this book whenever I need guidance in my life. I've purchased copies for my friends (my copy is too marked up and tattered to loan) and recommended it to acquaintances. If you've hit bottom or are ready for a change, this book will get you where you want to go.

This book is a very positive book on your choice for living regardless of your circumstance or situation. In this fast paced society, it's hard to take time to stop, slow down and get out of the rat race. Bottom line is this is a book that shows you exactly how to cope with everyday stress in life. It helps you to change and create a positive mindset even when your world is in turmoil.

As my the other reviewers of this book, it was so great the impression after reading the book that my first wish was to buy a few books to send to my best friends. This is a different grade of rating, it is 6 stars, 5 stars for the book plus 1 star when you want yor loves ones to read it so badly that you buy it for them. Incredible book, suited to be in your night stand for a long time.

This book is great. This book has helped me alot, For work and my daily life. I have bought this book for 3 people. They all love it too. If you need help to deal with you job this is the book.

If you want to know how a couple of words of advice(that have been told to you by just about anybody, since you were a kid), can be blown into an entire book, then buy this book and get an experience that has nothing to do with the title...
