Customer Reviews

Inspiring even if you are not a woman...

I read this book because my girlfriend was reading it (not usually the kind of book I would seek out, a self-help book for women), but once I started into it, i could not put it down. I secretly kept reading it without my girlfriend's knowledge, putting another book jacket over it, so when out in public people would not wonder why I was so intently reading this book! But now that I have finished it and been quite inspired by Ms. Barnett's story, experience and advice, I am no longer embarassed, rather, i am inspired enough to write a review. The very next day i noticed ways that the book had affected my outlook and some of the everyday choices one makes that affect the future. thanks for sharing, Ms. Barnett...

Fabulous and True

This book is fabulous - fun and entertaining - filled with humour and celebrities...but the core of the book is the kind of solid advice that keeps you nodding your head while you read because you immediately recognize its truth. Right after I finished the last page I went out and bought copies for my friends, I had to share the inspiration!
