5.0 out of 5 stars Quick ways to work your way out of depression, October 15, 2004

By	Jim S (Upstate, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Recharge in Minutes: The Quick-Lift Way to Less Stress, More Success, and Renewed Energy (Paperback)

Recharge in Minutes by Suzanne Zoglio
2003. Tower Hill Press, Doylestown, PA

This excellent, short, easy-to-read book gives 101 ways to raise your mood. Most of these ideas have been advocated by many writers and experts. The strength of Recharge in Minutes is that each idea is described in a single page or less. If one is depressed, it is difficult to read a long, detailed manual about what to do. Just a few minutes with this book can boost your mood.

I have used many of these methods to battle depression. When I'm depresed, I'm confused. I don't know where I'm going. I can't see the big picture. I need to get in touch with my inner self. This book reminds me of what me in the past and tells me what will help now.

These tools put you in touch with your soul. They can help you find your destiny, what you want to get out of life, and what you want your life to have meant to the world.

Many therapists have cited the benefit of writing in a journal. Rechange in Minutes gives you many things to write about. One method is to write a "dream letter" to a friend. You are to pretend it is 2 years from now, and you are to describing your ideal life.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect remedy for restoring focus and energy....FAST!!!, September 29, 2003

By	W. Lawton (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A few years ago I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Suzanne Zoglio at a book signing/seminar based on her award-winning book ?Create a Life That Tickles Your Soul.? That book was a life changer and I am living a more purposeful and directed life as a result. But like many people, lately I?d been finding it hard to maintain motivation on a daily basis. The stress and pressure of working 24/7 would build up and then I?d feel drained. That was, until I read Recharge in Minutes. Dr. Sue?s ?Quick-Lift Method? showed me a whole new way to restore focus and energy fast?so life?s day-to-day challenges don?t accumulate.

This book of masterfully crafted one-pagers offers inspiration and practical tips for Finding Focus, Chilling Out, Revving Up, Discovering Courage, and many other ways to renew your enthusiasm?for work and for life. Recharge in Minutes includes 101 Quick-Lifts that take one to ten minutes?energizing ideas like ?Practice Morning Intent,? ?Do, Defer, or Delegate,? ?Watch for Miracles.? There are recharging ideas here for everyone?from soccer moms to CEOs, and the book is so reader-friendly, it?s easy to find a Quick-Lift that?s just right for your situation.

If you?ve got too much on your plate, feel drained at the end of the day, or simply want to boost your enthusiasm, read this book. It?ll show you how to make a habit of taking better breaks?any time, any place?breaks that restore some of the energy you?re expending on a daily basis!

4.0 out of 5 stars Empowering Ideas to Fuel Creativity , April 5, 2005

By	Rebecca Johnson "SeasonedwithLove.com" (Washington State) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

Reading Recharge in Minutes was an enjoyable activity since I was sitting out in the sun and that seems to "recharge" me physically. As I was introducing our new kitten to the deck, she slept happily in the sun. The scent of flowers in the planter lingered in the air and the clouds were slowly drifting by. "This is more of what I need in life," I thought.

This book will not only help you reduce stress in your life, it will also only take less than an hour to read. With pen in hand, I jotted down ideas like:

Instead of running away from home, sit out in the sun more often...
Stop the stress response through more exercise!
Goal: read one book a day or more if possible
Morning Intent - Decide to bless lives on a daily basis or make a difference instead of just making a "to do" list.
Eat more Belgium chocolate!
Listen to Thunderstorm CD while taking long baths...oh and buy more candles.
Decrease contact with energy sappers...
Avoid whirlpools of negativity!

Suzanne Zoglio also encourages you to write out your dreams. Where do you want to be in a year? What will you be doing? Where will you be living? Her book encourage you to solve the unsolvable, calm yourself down in times of stress (breathing techniques), take risks and find out what is important.

If you have noticed that your energy is often connected to your emotions, this book will be enlightening in that regard. Your emotional well being is very connected to your energy and just being around positive people can make you feel more energetic.

We all know that unmanaged stress is a major health risk. If you want more peace, passion and purpose, Suzanne Zoglio has ideas for being more assertive and setting boundaries. After reading this book I made an appointment for a facial. Life is short, the spa awaits.
