Publisher Description
Joy Behar, comedian and cohost of ABC's The View, offers a follow-up to her Joy Schtick with this compilation written by 100 of her friends, associates, and role models, including Barbara Bush, Donald Trump, and James Earl Jones. Behar asked her celebrity friends to share whatever picks them up when they're down in the dumps, and as each celebrity offers his or her advice on how to cope with the blues, it soon becomes clear that most of us are driven to find solace in similar activities, regardless of who we are.

"Some of the advice was simple, yet things I tend to forget about that really do help you feel better."

When You Need a Lift Listener Reviews
-
" Checked this out but did not read it. All it is is a lot of quotes from other people she has collected. It would be good to be able to pull this from your shelf if you need a lift, but even at that the few I pages I did read were dull. "
— Shellie, 4/14/2013 -
" Cute concept for a book - just one that I am not in the market for right now . I've decided to lay it back down and maybe I'll pick it up at another time . "
— Angie, 9/6/2012 -
" I enjoy Ms. Behar on "The View" and couldn't resist picking up this book when I noticed it's organized alphabetically. It includes quotes and/or short essays by or about a whole variety of celebrities. "
— Nancy, 8/31/2012 -
" I think Joy Behar is just cashing in on her 10 minutes...She is smart and funny but this book is neither, just a collection of "famous" people's ideas of how to beat depression. Very lame "
— Julie, 2/8/2012 -
" Great idea if you're famous--get lots of other semi-famous people to write some things and put it into a book. Lots of names I didn't recognize, but really I was just bored of the same thing over and over again. "

" Interesting and funny. "
— Kirrilee, 1/24/2009 -
" Would have been funnier if she had written the whole thing herself. "
