4.0 out of 5 stars Positive, Realistic & Funny, August 15, 2000

By	C. Brown "dirty_work" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

I have found many of these "Life's Instruction Book" type of items to be new-agey or over sentimental.

The inclusions in this book are straight-forward, and many cause a little chuckle or two. I wouldn't hesitate to give this book to my cynical friends and family.

I bought a couple of books and included them in gifts for my stressed family or tense friends. It should help everyone get in touch with the simplier pleasures in life, without being hokey or sappy.

1.0 out of 5 stars a recycled book, February 6, 2006

By	Jas L. Ems "g03mum" (Northumberland, PA) - See all my reviews

I was disappointed with this book. I knew it would have bits from the author's previous books plus new words of wisdom. But each page only had one sentence of advice. I thought she'd write a little bit about each suggestion like in her previous books. i'm glad I bought this book used. Otherwise it was a waste of money for me.
