Customer Reviews

Oh, what a lovely book.

I bought this book years ago at a drugstore, and lost the copy after years of reading and rereading it. Somehow, I had managed to find it again, despite having forgotten the author's last name for a while. Kasl is wise, human, and so comforting. You certainly can pick any page and get a dose of wisdom, or you can sit and read it cover to cover, and feel glad to have done so. She really can offer a very supportive and loving point of view. I am a therapist, and give away copies, especially useful in combatting low self-esteem. Love it!

Dancing with Life

This book, by the author of Many Roads, One Journey: Moving Beyond the 12 Steps, has been one I've frequently quoted to the Women for Sobriety group I lead and pushed (gently) on my recovery coaching clients. Not to say that it is only for women or only for people in recovery. Hell, we could all use an extra helping of joy. It's about body acceptance, looking out for others' positive intentions and taking small steps. My favorite part is entitled "If you feel like a baby, get a babysitter." A book full of kindness.

great daily reading!

i absolutely love this book. Kasl shares ways to reaquaint people with joy in simple ways. I always have a smile on my face and in my heart after reading a page or two.

A true treasure!

Charlotte Davis Kasl, has hit the nail on the head! Want to change your life for the better? Want to really enjoy your days and learn to get through the rough ones? This book can help. She has thought of everything from finances, to love, to kids to your entire outlook on life. The sections are broken into 101 mini topics explained through anecdotes and therapy techniques. She uses teqhniques from many cultures and religions without pushing any religion on you. Easy to read and comprhend. Read a section a day (If you can put it down afer just one!) and you will feel the difference as you internalise the beauty of true Joy in your life. (Can you tell this is my favorite book?)
