Book Description

June 2, 2009
Women know what they should be doing, but still often don't do it. Gallagher explores the reasons why, and helps women to help themselves.

Women know what they ought to do-eat right, exercise more, get plenty of rest, save money, and make smart decisions in their own best interest. But instead, it seems that women often take care of everyone else, yet neglect themselves. It's time they realize they're not hopeless or helpless. Here, sociologist and self-care expert BJ Gallagher shares fifty-two ways they can put themselves first on their priority list-rather than last.

The book begins by exploring the most common reasons women don't take good care of themselves, and how those barriers can be overcome once they are recognized. Readers will discover step by step how small changes can have a big impact; how to replace poor habits with good ones; and finally, how to avoid the "quick fix" traps. BJ Gallagher's tips, tools, and suggestions will guide every woman to a life she deserves-taking better care of themselves and their loved ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Wisdom October 12, 2009
By J. Karl
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has really inspired me to acknowledge things that were bugging me about myself. The author is kind enough to not only pinpoint ideas that can make for a better life but also provides that little nudge at the end of each short,to the point, chapter to move the reader to action. It just all makes so much sense. Ms. Gallagher serves up different items on her suggestion menu in just the right amounts with the perfect flavor for each one. Easy to read, hard to put down, wonderful to share. I think it would be fun to have a close group of friends get together once a week and share their experiences chapter by chapter. I can see where this would make for some great discussion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow- June 1, 2010
Format:Paperback
The title of the book in itself was almost a lifesaver for me. It was exactly what was needed. Gallagher's 'to the core' writing really got through to me. I originally borrowed it from a library, but then knew immedately only a few pages into it that it was going to be a keeper. The book is organzied not in lists of how to improve ones self, but rather it's taken one idea per week, so to speak. It's organized so that an individual can really dive into each self improvement suggestion and get the most out of her teachings.
I got so much out of this book, I'm not only recommending it to other friend, but buying a couple of copies to pass out to friends. I think anyone and everyone can look at this book as a breath of fresh air and feel motivated to make tiny but significant changes.
