Ladles of Common Sense,
By
This review is from: It's Your Choice! Decisions That Will Change Your Life (Paperback)
This tome is that rare beast so ubiquitous in the 19th century and so lamentably out of print today: a commonsense guide to life, a vade mecum bursting with the wisdom of the tried and true, akin to a good friend's advice. The author's style is intimate but never imposing. She shares rather than lectures. She asks: how does one find a meaning in one's life and thus enhance it? And she answers with ladles of tips and anecdotes, real life stories and popular philosophy. One by one she scrutinizes the six dimensions of well-being: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social, and financial. What I found amazing is that while I am viscerally opposed to certain claims she makes (for instance, about the existence of a soul, not to mention her fascination with the Afterlife), I still found her work tantalizingly compelling and surprisingly useful: it is so rich that even when one discards what one disagrees with, one is left with a cornucopia of sound insight and a firm but gentle guiding hand. Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited".
