"One of the most surprisingly enjoyable books I've run across. Has entries on "how to wash your hair" by a leading hair sylist in New York, or "how to jog" by a 10-time winner of the Boston marathon...or "how to get out a stain" by Heloise. You get the point. It's a fun read with 2-3 page chapters - good for bathroom readers or busy moms."

" Some cool thoughts. Real experts! Smacks of modern culture decay that these wise voices have to condense their fields into three pages. "
— David, 2/19/2014" the description on how to floss was wrong. i was taught a different way in dental school. "
— Glenn, 2/12/2014" it took me forever to read this book as there was no storyline, no plot, nothing to hold my interest. and some things are hard to teach via the written word, like driving a stick shift. as such, i am not sure how effective entries like that were. "
— Caryn, 2/6/2014" simpatico divertente e, si, utile "
— _topo_, 2/5/2014" I learned some new things and improved some other things. Each item is only a couple pages. "
— Melinda, 2/1/2014" I learned a lot of things in this book . "
— Dragonmom, 1/25/2014" I really enjoyed this book, very interesting and entertaining. It's got 100 short essays by experts on how to do things - how to listen by Larry King, give and receive a compliment by Ms Demeanor, wash your hair by Frederic Fekkai. An easy, fun read. "
— Kenna, 1/20/2014" This was an interesting book, but almost an information overload, while at the same time offering pretty obvious guidance. A few chapters were helpful. Probably more of a reference than a direct read. "
— Linda, 1/14/2014" this was a lot of fun--one of those books you can't put down. the variety is what keeps you reading, and all of the "things" are covered in 2 pages or fewer, so it all seems do-able. now i "know" how to sew a button, wash my hair, remember names, and kiss! ;) "
— Lindsay, 12/12/2013" Not as fun as it seemed like it might be. A lot of the advice was superficial, but perhaps that's because the space was limited. "
— Ruth, 11/23/2013" I found so many things that I thought I knew how to do, but didn't, that I find this book valuable to go back to. "
