" a few gems but mostly sugary, preachy and/or lacking in depth. "
— Lisa, 6/19/2011 -
" This book would probably be quite useful for workaholics, but that label does not apply to me at all. Some of the suggestions the author gives (make time for exercise, do something for yourself every week, etc) are the very reasons my life is crazy. "
— Susan, 12/8/2010 -
" I enjoyed the book, and learned a few great new techniques for making improvements. I still see problems in the fact that it seems like part of her solution is to give up on somethings to make more time. Being an incredibly driven person, sometimes I feel that the sacrifice is worthy of the ends. "

" Definitely gave me a lot to think about. Each short chapters ends with a challenge for the day, a 5 minute journal exercise and a 1 minute idea to meditate on. I think I will go probably need to go through the exercises one more time to make the ideas stick. "
