Summary: From the Heart
Review: I've never been big on self-help books because they tend to reiterate "common sense", Monique Greenwood's "Having What Matters" is somewhat different. Instead of telling the reader what they need to do, Monique discusses episodes in her life. These episodes may have lead her to achieving a goal or backfired and forced her to re-evaluate her actions. I felt like I was having a heart-to-heart discussion with a sista that knows herself as well as me.

Summary: Not your typical self-help guide
Review: In the wake of September 11, just about everyone is trying to define what really matters to them. Reading this wonderful book helped me pinpoint my passions, and prioritize the many demands on my time so that at the end of the day I can truly say I'm happy about the direction my life is taking. In this book, Monique talks to me like I'm her best friend. There is no pretense, just get-real, make-it-happen advice on everything from managing finances to carving time out just for me. I'm inspired by her story and motivated to claim my own success. You need this book!

Summary: old wine in a prettied up bottle
Review: Monique Greenwood has had a genuinely interesting life but her book is not much different from any other self help book I've read. Nothing is particularly new and nothing stands out. Like cotton candy Ms. Greenwood's book is pleasant for the moment but provides no real nourishment. Read the book for an hour or so of amusement but if you're looking for the key to help you change your life this aint it.

Summary: AFFIRMING, ENLIGHTENING ADVICE
Review: Monique's book is a thought-provoking, sister-loving guide that will help those seeking guidance to new mind-sets, techniques and tools to re-affirm their self-worth as well as help them get their personal, financial and professional lives together. The book could've used more references to parenting and to relying on faith/God, but Ms. Greenwood's book is a great start on the journey to a new life. For those seeking spirituality, they won't find it here, but this is still a worthwhile read.

Summary: Having What Truly Matters
Review: This book should definitely be in any african-american woman's library along with her bible. Learning to step out of your on way and stop blocking your blessings. Ms. Greenwood helps the reader define what is important to them personally. This book put me on the right track.

Summary: What matter to you.....Get busy yawl
Review: When I think of reading a book, I never think of a self-help book. Not because I believe I know everything but when I read, I want entertainment. I could not envision a self-help book that could do that. Having What Matters, entertaining moments were strategically placed throughout the book. The author's calm wit kept me turning pages.The nine chapter titles were simple such as, "Successfully Defining Success and "Leaving the World a Better Place," but they were filled with an abundance of information.After reading the first paragraph of the introduction, and remembering a time my sister took me by Mrs. Greenwood's Bedford Stuyvesant mansion, I regarded her as EF Hutton and I intended to listen to her narration. If listening to her would help me achieve what she has, an eighteen room mansion, a closet filled with designer clothes and shoes, owning four prosperous businesses, two bed and breakfast inns, a restaurant, a coffeehouse as well as a stint as editor in chief of Essence magazine, my ears and eyes are wide open. Having What Matters helps the black woman to define her success. Mrs. Greenwood proudly wears the term "bootstrapper" mentality. It means a person who has the mindset of not the victim but the winner; an individual who can rise above the trials and tribulations she is faced with. Mrs. Greenwood's burning desire is to be able to give each of us what we need to get what matters to us. What does it matter to have a high paying job, but you dread going to work everyday? This book should be amongst all the things that matter the most to you. Missy
