5.0 out of 5 stars You are enough!, April 4, 2001

By	ttputt "ttputt" (New Hope, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Create a Life That Tickles Your Soul: Finding Peace, Passion, and Purpose (Tickle Your Soul) (Hardcover)

I first read "Create a Life...." about a year ago at a time when I had been phased out of a job I thought I loved, my mother died and a friend was suffering from depression. I was angry, stressed and burnt out. As a sort of one year anniversary gift to myself I have just re-read the book. It is concise. The writing is clear and crisp, and the ideas are beautifully supported with everyday examples. Among the most meaningful tidbits for me are the three words, "You are enough." For most of my life the more I accomplished the harder I pushed. I was rewarded with bonuses and kudos and still felt the need to compete. Finally, I gave myself permission to get off the merry go round and pursue other interests. And as Zoglio advises, I let go of anger and resentment and began to take care of myself. I now choose what I do. I have time for volunteering and time for me. This is a book of simple truths... if you want love and abundance in your life, give it away. If you believe in something, believe in it all the way. Choose how you use each day of your life. The pages are filled with passion. My best advise after the reading the book a second time is buy one for a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A winning game plan for the second half of your life, April 14, 2000

By	Bill Lawton (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Create a Life That Tickles Your Soul: Finding Peace, Passion, and Purpose (Tickle Your Soul) (Hardcover)

Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) was right on the mark when he called Tickle Your Soul a "gem". Having recently read the book, when I think of gem and Tickle in the same context, the "Hope" Diamond comes to mind. Boomers.....there IS Hope. Talk about a wake up call! Until I read Tickle, I never really thought in terms of a second phase of life the way the author presents it (the best one!). I enjoyed Dr. Zoglio's approach to "reinventing your life" as she takes you through a touching, thought provoking, empowering process where you will, among other things, let go of old baggage, move out of your comfort zone, dream, find your purpose, and take action. I found the exercises to be fun and easy, and they left me feeling enlightened, energized and focused.

Tickle is loaded with practical wisdom, so I suggest a highlighter. True, you will have your own Life's Purpose Plan to follow, but it is nice to be able to quickly reference those gems that lit you up in the first place. I do it to re-energize and stay on track. Just a few of my favorites: "You deserve a life that is exquisitely tailored to the uniqueness of you." "No one else knows what pictures fill your mind or what passions fuel your heart." "Passion in life stems from a forward focus. If we are not growing, learning and evolving, we will begin to wither inside." "Suddenly, we have an urge to do what we've always wanted to do...before it's too late."

Dr. Zoglio has done a masterful job of taking a formidable task, and presenting it in a very manageable, doable and enjoyable process. When I finished Tickle I thought...."it can't be this easy!". Well, I had an opportunity very recently to share a few of her exercise questions with a relative that was really struggling with some life's purpose/passion issues. The results: Truly incredible...almost miraculous! I highly recommend this book. Don't waste a precious moment. Tickle your soul, live your life with purpose, and follow your dreams!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just When I Needed It!, April 2, 2001

By	Edie Weinstein-Moser (Perkasie, PA USA) - See all my reviews

I received "Create A Life That Tickles Your Soul" as a gift from friends as a means of inspiring me during the most overwhelming time in my life. I had turned forty a few months earlier and my husband of nearly eleven years had just died. I was facing a myriad of challenges and this book was like a beacon in the darkness. It affirmed much that I already knew and helped me open doors in my life just as many were closing behind me. I found Suzanne's writing style to be flowing and the message both educational and enlivening. It was as if I was sitting comortably in my living room and engaging in conversation with a friend. The book mark embellished with a feather is taped to my computer monitor as a reminder that I can do anything I set my mind and heart upon. Thank you Suzanne for the blessing that is your book! I've recommended it to others whose souls need tickling too.
