Live the life you really love!,
By Lee Mellott "Skin Care For Wrinkles" (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live the Life You Love: In Ten Easy Step-By Step Lessons (Paperback)
I am a sucker for self help books. I usually feel great after reading one and then nothing. This book however is an exception. A truly insightful book that can change your life! We often read that if we think a certain way, and do things a certain way we can make what we want happen. Then of course we wonder what is wrong when things don't workout. The author explains why positive thinking, affirmations, and willing and wishing aren't always successful. She describes how everyone is motivated differently and by using her techniques you will be able to determine what motivates you. She will help you learn how to take steps to make your desires come true even when you feel like you can't possibly succeed. The author describes techniques for a strong imaginary support system that will help you achieve your goals. This book is very different than the usual "you can do it" book. If you follow the simple steps with this book "you will do it"! A wonderful book! You can start implementing the steps right away and be on your way to the life you love! As I read her book I put her suggestions to work. I can not believe how much easier it is to accomplish my goals!

This review is from: Live the Life You Love: In Ten Easy Step-By Step Lessons (Paperback)
At a difficult point in my career, I turned to this book to help me move to something new. I followed the steps described and it really worked. I had a dream of teaching environmental ethics at university, and now I am! A great thing about this book is that it is really written for sceptics like me who can't stand self-help books. Barbera Sher is particularly suspicious of resolutions and positive affirmations. She states quite clearly that you don't have to improve your character in order to get a good life - good news indeed! Another great thing about this book is that, just as she promises, all the exercises suggested are actually fun. This book moved me from a place of despondancy to a widening sense of wonder and excitement in life. Could you ask for more than that?

Better than self-help: SELF-UNDERSTANDING,
By Jeremy Schwartzentruber (Montreal, QC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live the Life You Love: In Ten Easy Step-By Step Lessons (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have read for improving and understanding your life.The premise of the book is that you can't force yourself to be "successful" or happy. The success gurus generally tell you to discipline yourself, to use the power of choice, to take more action. As Barbara Sher points out, these philosophies have mixed results because people can rarely discipline themselves for very long to do things that they don't feel like doing. Maybe you know that you need to contact certain people to get started on the path towards something you love, but somehow you never get around to it? We need to understand that this doesn't happen just because we are weak and undisciplined -- there's a REASON for our behavior. This book awakened me to the concept of resistance. There are many different possible reasons that we experience resistance to doing things that we know we need to do. But if we try to just force ourselves to do things, then inevitably it will become too uncomfortable and we will quit, or "forget" about it. In addition to resistance the book describes how to awaken yourself to things that you might love to do, and gives numerous techniques for helping you on the path to doing them. I will refer to this book again and again as I pursue my goals and dreams. Overall this book is much better organized and written than her book "I could do anything, if only I knew what it was". That book does have some other useful material, but I would only recommend reading it after "Live the Life You Love..." if you are still hungry for more of her insight.
