Book Description

Loretta LaRoche, who has been called by Joan Borysanko "the jolly-lama," turns spring 2003 into a giant party with a new PBS special and this new tie-in book.

Ms. LaRoche has helped millions of people find ways to lighten up and overcome stress in their lives. Now, she gives people the tools they need to not only reduce stress, but to bring joy, passion, and gusto into their lives. Her techniques are a brilliant blend of old-world common sense and the most contemporary research in brain chemistry, psychology, and mind-body studies. With very specific exercises, her new book gives readers dozens of proven techniques for developing the nine most important traits needed to live an intense, happy, successful life: Resilience; Optimism; Connection; Mindfulness; Humor; Respect; Integrity; Creativity; and Purpose.

Loretta's wisdom grows from her own life, one filled with the demands of being a single mother of three; of starting her own business when broke; of the wacky invasiveness of her Italian family. She is like all of us: real, flawed, stressed-out and on-edge. Her magic comes from an ability to not take herself too seriously, and to always shift her focus away from the self-destructive and toward the truly important things in life. This book will give readers those same tools.

In her work, Loretta has seen tens of thousands of people who live their lives as if they're sitting in the waiting room, hoping that their turn comes up next. This book will show those people how to get up, knock on the door, get what they want, or move on! Life Is Short-wear Your Party Pants is a delightful and insightful book of wisdom for everyone who has ever had the instinct to keep her good clothes in the closet, lock away the expensive silverware, or deny themselves a bite of dessert, waiting for a special occasion. Loretta says: "Every day, if you wake up and you're still breathing, is a special occasion!"

3.0étoiles sur 5 So, so, not THAT encouraging..., Oct. 25 2005
Par Un client
I bought this book a few days ago in hopes of an encouraging read. I don't agree that this is the best self help book. Let me tell you why. A few excerpts from the chapters I did NOT agree with. I will give you one example, page 73 reads: "Unrealistic expectations-the sort that would convince us that all we need to do to achieve anything is to just believe in ourselves and never give up-are ridiculous". Well isn't that just a kick in the teeth? There is such a thing as practice makes perfect (maybe not in ALL cases) but you don't ever encourage someone to just accept a failed attempt at trying something. I was brought up that if at first you don't succeed, try again and again, there is no such thing as giving up. There are a few others in the book as well as this one. It just didn't sit well with me and I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone as a "self-help" book. I've definitely read better. Don't get me wrong, there were some helpful tid bits of information. Other information in here was hard to believe that someone would even pass off as a good piece of advice. Thanks for letting me sound off.

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Life Is Short-Wear Your Party Pants: Ten Simple Truths That Lead to an Amazing Life (Paperback)
"What does not destroy me, makes me stronger." ~Friedrich Nietzsche

"Life is Short" is a book about making the choice to live an extraordinary life. It is about showing appreciation, giving more hugs and being more forgiving. Loretta explores a variety of beliefs and shows how stress is a signal to change your life. She brings out some interesting points about conversation being a deep and personal form of bonding and gives practical ways you can reconnect to family and friends.

Throughout the book Loretta shares her life, explains the concept of having a higher life purpose and promotes the idea of living in the present.

The cover and inner design is highly creative. I loved the little party pants on each page and the abundance of inspiring quotes by Mother Teresa, Ashley Montagu, Arthur Rubinstein and many others.

Each chapter has a creative title and a meaningful affirmation. Chapter 10 is entitled: "Join the Party! ("An amazing life requires connection."). Loretta discusses the concepts of stress, optimism, acceptance, humor, creativity, moderation, responsibility, meaning and connection.

Unique Topics Include:

Keeping a Joy Journal
Boost Your Word Power; Boost Your Mood
Eight Reasons We Can't Lighten Up
Ten Simple Ways to Connect Today

The list of "How we create a pessimistic life" was also humorously entitled "Ten Ways to Struggle and Live on the Dark Side." Loretta LaRoche has written this book to help you step into the light of love, laughter and living. Through her writing she shows how we waste so many hours on the dark side and gives practical ways we can step towards the light.

The next time I go shopping, I'm going to look for some "party pants." Since my life is about to change dramatically again, this is a book I really needed to read. It gave me a new perspective on my current situation and I realized that stress really does encourage you to change your life in amazing ways.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Hits the funny bone..., Fév 19 2004
Par Un client
This is the first self-help book that I have read from cover to cover. Miss Loretta delivers sound commonsense advice and she is funny with it. She is not preaching she is just directing and advising...which is the best way to get my attention. Having read the book and talked about it, a friend told me about the CD...well I have not laughed so much in a long, long time (especially by myself). The audio version of her book will have you in stitches...it contains live performances from her various show and it's funny as hell. I listen to it in the office when people are getting on my nerves, in traffic when the radio is boring...each time I find something new to think about, and the message stays with me.
Life IS short, we know this but we don't pay attention...until it's to late. Put on YOUR panty pants and give this book or CD a whirl...you won't be disappointed.
