Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
New York City psychologist Friedman, seen daily on cable TV, is a columnist for the Detroit Free Press and author of Smart Cookies Don't Crumble. With freelance writer Kettelhack, she addresses a reader assumed to be, like her patients, a woman bewildered by shifts in self-perception, offering advice for "increasing your own sense of personal power over your life." Citing the "feminine mistake," Friedman cautions against heeding the siren call to total liberation. With equal force she challenges advocates of the stereotype of the housebound wife and mother. Specific and practical steps in this guide encourage the reader to know herself and to discard others' expectations and live her own life.

From Library Journal
In her fourth self-help book with a catchy title ( A Hero Is More Than Just a Sandwich , LJ 11/1/86, is this book's immediate predecessor), clinical psychologist and TV personality Friedman reiterates her message that women need to examine and direct their own lives. Here she tries to outline a way to make choices that will result in a satisfying life, whether it includes a man, a career, motherhood, or some combination of these that fulfills the individual's personal goals. Friedman loves lists--the four Rs of positive change, the nine facts of life, the seven goals for the grown-up woman--and she expounds on them with the enthusiasm of a cheerleader. There's nothing new here, but the advice is chatty and the author is popular, so expect some demand.

Changed my life,
By A Customer
This review is from: On a Clear Day You Can See Yourself: Turning the Life You Have Into the Life You Want (Paperback)
I actually read this book over 10 years ago, but what I learned from it is still with me today. I highly recommend it to anyone who is struggling with trying to figure out who they are and how to deal with life. It contains 9 Facts of Life that to this day I still remember and use as tools to help me deal with life. Excellent book!!!! I originally borrowed a copy from the library, but now am ready to read again/get my own copy to keep!

WOW!,
By Word Power "Tina" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: On a Clear Day You Can See Yourself (Mass Market Paperback)
I stumbled across this book in the library. I'm still in the process of reading it, about 1/2 way through, and already I'm so excited by what I'm discovering! I need a copy for myself - I already know that I'll refer to it again and again - it's so motivating, inspirational - I want to share this discovery with all of the women in my life who may be struggling with finding their self-definition, self-worth, self-confidence, self-comfort. Truly worth the read!
