Not Your Ordinary Self-Help Book

Alter Your Life is not your regular self-help inspirational book. It is practical, engaging and powerfully life-changing. Unlike other self-help books that focus on the goals you'd like to create for your life, Dr. Hall provides a different angle of everyday activities, so you'd be able to alter your perspectives, which are the key of lifetime joy and happiness. Divided into 24 chapters, this book talks about ways to give meaning in the simplest and overlooked activities, such as walking, shopping, gardening, listening to music, taking a bath, watching the evening news and, even, washing dishes. The author's easy-to-read conversational tone is an added plus, as most people prefer not reading a preachy book. Written by a former Wall Street stockbroker who lived joylessly for years, the soul of this book shines throughout the pages, making the reading a breeze. The author has walked the walk and talked the talk, indeed. It is evident from the depth of one's innermost issues covered as she encourages the readers to choose the joy and the enlightened path in their hectic and, oftentimes, boring lives. Alter Your Life is, indeed, a self-help book of its own class. For once, an enlightened friend has spoken. Thanks, Dr. Hall.[] A review by Jennie S. Bev of BookReviewClub.com

Among the best!

The best thing about this book is that the author deals in our everyday reality. She knows because she's been there. Life is too busy. Too hectic. No matter how sincere our intentions, we don't have the time to read, philosophize, or meditate--all activities that separate us from our daily responsibilities at home, in the office, with family and friends. Dr. Hall gives us simple and practical ways to attain small moments of spirituality throughout our busy days--whether we are in the car, at school, in the office, in the kitchen, or even in the shower,. Her abjility to help us squeeze meaningful moments out of our "real life" activities separates Alter Your Life from the faddy, prescriptive, "how to", feel good books.Here's an author that admits most of us are over-scheduled and over- whelmed. She doesn't ask us to change...rather she encourages us to find spiritual meaning in our "busyness." Something we all can do in the very moment that we are driving, running, walking, sitting, meeting and accomplishing.
