I am a self-proclaimed motivational and self help book junkie.  I love to read books that are inspiring and make me want to do more with my life.  I found this book absolutely fascinating!  Gabrielle Bernstein has a fresh style and from the moment I picked up the book, I felt as is she was sitting right next to me talking and guiding me thru each lesson.  It’s easy to take her ideas and apply them practically. My only concern (as with any self help book) is that if your like me you’ll want to start applying every idea and can become quickly overwhelmed. Listen to what Gabrielle is trying to teach you, however don’t try to do everything at once. Start off with a few ideas and once you’ve mastered them move onto the next. Follow the guidelines set in this book and you will have no problems.
