Summary: Clarity, wit, and compassion
Review: This is a beautifully written book: simple, clear, funny, and brief. The author shares lots of personal experiences that make it interesting to read and easier to relate to. There are 52 very short (2-3 pages)chapters, one for every week of the year if you want to use it that way. Even an insanely busy person like I used to be can read 3 pages a week!There are so many chapters in this book that have helped me to get my life under control: Practice Patience, Understand What Saving Time Really Means, Make the Mind Your Ally Instead of Your Enemy, Try Power Whining, etc. Some of the suggestions you will have heard before, but Joan restates them with such clarity that they resonated with me for the first time. I approached the age of 50 with the determination that I would finally quit making my life miserable with stress and over-work, and this book has given me many insights and helped me make some very significant changes. I recommend it without reservation to anyone who feels they are "too busy" and "have too much to do."

Summary: This is one self-help book that really helps.
Review: This is a fabulous book. The author's writing style is beautiful, inspiring and uplifting. The book flows nicely, is pleasing to the eye, and covers everything you could hope to learn about strolling gently down the path to inner peace. I've been reading personal growth books since 1995 and this has become my new favorite. I learned so much and have already put it into practice. I'm sending a copy to my mother for her birthday and recommending it to all my busy friends. Even if your life isn't busy, you can gain so much from this book. Thanks, Joan! I'm going to read your other books now!
