5.0 out of 5 stars dump those bad habits, baby!, September 28, 2005

By	Susan Kauffman (Seattle) - See all my reviews

I never thought Id have funreading a self help book -- but Karen Salmansohn is not only insightful, she comes up with fun metaphors that make me laugh as I learn. She talks about how we were brainwashed by our childhood but its more like being braindirtied...and how we have to see stressful thigns wiht pain-a-ramic vision...with a 360 degree perspective that reveals the happy lesson to be learned...the gain from pain... I loved this book! And I love this author's website [...] A must read for anyone trying to break a bad pattern!

Karen Salmenson has her finger on the pulse of what readers not only want but may need to read.

Enough, Dammit: A Cynic's Guide is a fun but meaningful read for people who need to get past the roadblocks of past experiences that programmed them for negativity and failure that they now impose on themselves.

If you recognize yourself in this, you must buy this book. It's one of the best gifts you'll ever get.

4.0 out of 5 stars Think positive, January 9, 2007

By	Raleigh Mom (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

I bought this book for my 21 yr old son, who is stuck and searching for his path in life. The book presents so many great messages about thinking positive, changing your outlook to change your life, taking personal responsibility for choices, etc. He wouldn't be caught dead with any of the "real" self-help books, so I thought this was a good way to introduce some of the concepts. My one complaint is that it is really written for women; the personal relationship stuff all assumes the reader is female and trying to date men. I just hope that doesn't turn him off because the rest of the messages are gender-nuetral. It's upbeat, catchy, a 10-minute read.
